Broccoli Vinaigrette
Ingredients:- 1 large bunch broccoli
- 1/4 cup seasoned rice vinegar
- 1 tablespoon Dr. Fuhrman's VegiZest
 (I used Frontier's All-Purpose Seasoning because I didn't have any of Dr. Fuhrman's seasoning.) - 2 teaspoons Dijon mustard
- 1 large cloves garlic, minced
Directions: - Chop broccoli into bite-sized florets. Peel stems and slice them into 1/4"-thick strips.
- Steam florets and stems for 8 minutes or until just tender. (Check on this, as it's easy to cook too long and the broccoli will get mushy.)
- While the broccoli is steaming, whisk remaining ingredients in large bowl.
- Add broccoli and toss.
