Steaming Broccoli

Steamed Broccoli with Basic Vinaigrette

March 7, 2012

This is a really easy recipe for steamed broccoli with basic vinaigrette. Broccoli cooks quickly when you steam it, so it’s a good way to go if you don’t have a lot of time. When I steam broccoli, I prefer to leave the florets with a few inches of stem, but give them a quick peel so it’s easier to bite into.
