Steps
Wash the broccoli and divide them into small florets. Boil them in salted water for about fifteen minutes: they should be cooked but still crunchy. Drain and let them cool. In a small pan, brown the bacon without adding any seasoning then drain it on kitchen paper. Roughly chop the walnuts, keeping some whole. Arrange the broccoli, bacon, and walnuts on a serving plate, season with the oil, salt, and two tablespoons of Gusto Toscano’s onion tears.
