Crunchy Broccoli Salad

Crunchy Broccoli Salad
1/2 head broccoli, cut into small florets
use the stalk and cut into small pieces as well
1 small white onion, thinly sliced
2 Tablespoons pumpkin seeds or chopped walnuts, raw or toasted
splash olive oil
splash red whine vinegar
salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste
Toss all ingredients together in a small bowl. You can make this ahead of time if you would like the flavors to marinate a bit, but add the seeds or nuts at the last minute to maintain their crunch, and serve the salad at room temperature. This makes 2-4 servings. 

A bright, healthy salad with lots of crunch. Add a grated carrot for some more crunch and color. Any nuts or seeds could be used as they add a little contrast to the salad.
