Instructions
- Cut broccoli into bite size florets. Place a steamer insert in a saucepan with about 1/2 inch of water in it. Add broccoli, cover with a lid, and bring water to a boil over medium-high heat. Once water starts to boil, turn to low and steam until crisp-tender, about 3 to 4 minutes.
- While broccoli cooks, mince garlic. Combine with lemon juice and Dijon mustard in a small bowl (or liquid measuring cup). Slowly add oil as you beat with a whisk (or fork). Season with salt and pepper, to taste.
- Toss* dressing with steamed broccoli and serve right away.
Recipe Notes
*Terminology: Toss – to mix ingredients together by gently lifting and turning, using one or two utensils, or hands.
VARIATIONS:
- Chop 1/2 red bell pepper and add to mixture.
- Roast broccoli instead of steaming.
- Use dressing on steamed or roasted Brussels sprouts, cauliflower, or green beans.
- Add white beans or chickpeas, and serve with brown rice for a vegetarian main meal.
