Broccoli Pasta Salad with Shiitake Vinaigrette
Author: Chef Kelly Yorke
Serves: 8 servings
This pasta is rich in fiber, vitamins and compounds such as Sulforaphane and Indole 3 Carbinol that are present in the broccoli and the broccoli sprouts, which can help prevent and reduce the recurrence of breast, prostate and other cancers. Mushrooms such as the shitake variety, are used in the Orient to help prevent cancer and to reduce the toxic effects of chemotherapy. Therefore, this recipe is a good choice to incorporate into a breast-healthy diet.Ingredients
