    1–2 tbsp lemon juice
    50g unblanched hazelnuts, roughly chopped

    1. Place the red onion and celery in a large glass serving bowl and sprinkle with the sugar and a pinch of salt. Add the lemon juice, stir together well and set aside.

    3. Meanwhile, cook the broccoli in a large saucepan of boiling water for two minutes, then add the flower sprouts for a further minute. Drain well and cool under running water, then add to the salad bowl and drizzle over the oil. Toss well together.

    4. Scatter the parsley, pomegranate, cheese, and the hazelnuts and crunchy bread over the vegetables. Drizzle over a little extra oil and a grind of black pepper if you wish, and serve.
