To enhance the broccoli's flavor, season it with a sprinkling of salt and pepper as soon as it's moist with steam. Check its tenderness with the point of a knife, remembering that it will continue to cook off the heat.
Simple yet delicious, this salad improves overnight, so try to make it a day ahead. You could add other herbs, but try not to overpower the unique flavor combination of the fennel, onion and apricot.

Mango, Blueberry And Ginger Salad
Sweet tropical mangoes, ripe but tamer blueberries, spicy ginger and tart lime juice are a match made in heaven. Have this versatile salad for lunch with cottage cheese, topped with whipped cream as dessert, or alongside roasted pork tenderloin.
