5-Minute Broccoli

"This is healthy, quick, and delicious. Steaming brings out the flavor and retains the color and most of the nutrients are preserved. It tastes so good when served with the Mediterranean Dressing that follows."

  1. Easy and tasty. Actually 3.5 stars - a bit too tangy for my taste. I added some dried tomatoes for DH which made the fourth star ;-) Thanks for posting, will make this again and play around with it a bit!<br/>Made for Healthy Choices ABC.
     
  2. Very easy way to do broccoli. I added a bit too much lemon juice so mine was a little too tangy for most in my house but I liked it.
