Preparation

  1. Step 1

    Grate the zest from the lemon and set aside. Cut lemon in half.

  2. Step 2

    Using a vegetable peeler, shave the broccoli stalks into paper-thin ribbons and transfer to a bowl. Squeeze lemon juice over broccoli, toss well, and refrigerate at least 30 minutes or up to 2 hours, until cold and crisp.

  3. Step 3

    When ready to serve, divide the broccoli on plates. If using avocado, pit and thinly slice, then divide on top of broccoli. Using a vegetable peeler, shave a few thin slices of cheese onto each plate. Scatter a few rings of chile on each plate, if using.

  4. Step 4

    Drizzle each plate with olive oil and sprinkle with salt, pepper and lemon zest. Serve immediately.
