Steps:
-
Rinse the broccoli, cut the stems and separate them into tiny florets. Make sure that the pieces you separate are the same size.
-
Put 1/2 cup of water at the bottom of a deep pot and place a metal steaming apparatus on it. If you do not have such an apparatus, you can use the wire of the frying pan by placing a bowl under it.
-
Put the pot on the fire and soften the broccoli in the steam for 3-4 minutes with the lid closed. Meanwhile, peel the carrots and grate them. Crush the garlic. Finely chop the pickled gherkins.
-
Remove the broccoli to ice water and cool. Drain and dry on a paper towel without crushing.
-
Saute the grated carrots very lightly in a pan with 1 tablespoon of olive oil and soften them. Drain the corn canned and separate half of it.
-
For the sauce, whisk together the strained yogurt, mayonnaise, mustard, salt and pepper in a bowl. Chop a handful of washed parsley leaves very finely. Mix the sauce.
-
Put all the ingredients in a salad bowl and mix well by turning them upside down. After resting your salad in the refrigerator for at least 1 hour, you can serve it by garnishing it with parsley leaves and corn kernels. Enjoy your meal!
