Want to know a secret? You can easily turn a bag of frozen broccoli into an appetizing side dish with just a little extra effort. I always have frozen broccoli on hand (the kind that you can steam in the bag in the microwave). When I'm out of lettuce or don't feel like making a salad, this is a great alternative. Broccoli is my favorite vegetable, so Mark and I share a bag just between the two of us (you can never have too many greens right!?!?), but this could easily serve four. Try this next time you're scrambling for a side dish and need to add some veggies to your meal, or even if you are having a dinner party and have enough on your plate (figuratively...) and need something easy to compliment your main dish!
Broccoli for Beginners
1 bag frozen broccoli (the kind you can steam in the bag in the microwave)
1 lemon, juice and zest
1/4 tsp Garlic salt
1/8 tsp Pepper
Cheese for topping (cheddar or mozzarella is great)
1. Steam broccoli according to package directions.
2. In a bowl, add the juice and zest of 1 lemon, garlic salt and pepper to the broccoli. Toss to combine.
3. Top broccoli with cheese, if desired.
Voila! Looks more enticing than plain broccoli, but no fancy steamer or much time required!
