STEP BY STEP

Let’s make it.

Steam broccoli above simmering water for 4–5 minutes, until bright green and crisp-tender. Spread in a shallow container and refrigerate until cold, about 30 minutes.
Toast chopped almonds in a dry skillet over medium heat for 2–3 minutes, stirring. Tip onto a plate to cool.
Whisk oil, lemon juice, mustard, salt and pepper together. Toss with the cold broccoli and parsley.
Divide into 4 servings and scatter with all the toasted almonds just before serving.
