Notes

If you want it really salty or perhaps elevate the profile of the salad, you can use flat pancetta or even guanciale.
You can definitely use only broccoli or cauliflower if that is your preference. If you love Brussels sprouts, they can be used too. But cut them up into smaller chunks so it’s easier to consume.
Ensure the broccoli and cauliflower are dry before making it as otherwise the salad
