Quick, easy and super refreshing. The combination in this recipe is excellent, both flavor and texture are absolutely thumb up. Great with many of the main dishes, such as BBQ, grilled fish or any recipe that calls for salsa.

Broccoli rabe or Rapini is slightly more bitter tasting than broccoli. Blanching one or two minutes in boiling water then refreshing in cold or ice water locks in the bright green color.
