This Recipe for Broccoli Salad is Easy and Quick to PrepareAre you searching for a recipe for broccoli salad? I’d love to share with you the recipe I created last week for my lunch. I had some leftover broccoli from the previous night’s dinner, along with some Yukon gold potatoes. To cook the broccoli, I had sautéed it briefly in a small amount of extra virgin organic coconut oil and garlic. After a couple of minutes, I added a small amount of water, a dash of good sea salt and pepper, covered the pan and braised it for five or six minutes. The potatoes had been boiled in lightly salted water for about 15 minutes. I didn’t measure the ingredients, but quickly—remember, I was preparing this dish before work and didn’t have much time—added what I thought might taste good. So, I hope my lovely, hungry readers will not be afraid to try this recipe, even though it doesn’t give the exact measurements. Be brave... It's worth it! If you’re not sure if you’re adding, say, too much balsamic vinegar or salt and pepper, start by adding just a small amount. You can always add more!... but it would be annoying if you had to cook more broccoli and potatoes to balance out the stronger flavors of the dressing. The Recipe for Broccoli Salad Ingredients:
Directions:Combine all of the vegetables and begin to add the dressing ingredients, starting out by adding a small amount if you’re unsure of the flavor. Mix it all together and taste. Remember, the flavors will mingle and blend as you let it sit in a covered bowl in your refrigerator.This is a delicious recipe and I am looking forward to the next time I have leftover broccoli and potatoes to make this again. I liked it so much that I even ate what was left from my recipe for broccoli salad for breakfast the next morning, along with a slice of whole grain bread with avocado on top. Are You Interested in some Broccoli Nutrition Facts?
This green vegetable packs a nutrition punch. A member of the cruciferous vegetable group, along with cabbage, kale, arugula, collard greens, radishes, and cauliflower, to name just some, broccoli is loaded with antioxidants, and is an excellent source of vitamin C, calcium, phosphorus, and amino acids. Research has found that some of the phytochemicals found in cruciferous veggies are cancer deterrents. Broccoli sprouts are even more potent nutritionally, and you could add them to your juicer, if you don’t like the idea of eating broccoli itself frequently. So—bottom line—do yourself a big nutritional favor and eat more broccoli. Maybe there’s someone in your family who thinks he doesn’t like it, but if you prepare and present a beautiful cold broccoli salad, like this one, you just might change his mind.
