I have a weird confession, I'm obsessed with broccoli. Like, it's my favorite snack (<- Generally when I tell people that they are like "whaaa?" Broccoli isn't a snack! lol). Needless to say, this salad is screaming my name! Love the flavors, Angie!!! Cheers!
This sounds great, I love five spice and that avocado dressing sounds delicious too!

As soon as I saw the Dukkah, I knew I wanted the recipe for this salad. Truthfully it looks absolutely fabulous . We are a fan of everything that is in it ( except the chicken which I would leave out) .. Can't wait to try to gluten free salad! Yum!
Oh yum, that looks amazing, your pics are so pretty☺
