The Colors of Spring
Spring is in the air, which means it's time to liven up your food with new colors and tastes. Spice up your steamed broccoli with the healthy orange herb dressing in this recipe. The dressing not only makes the broccoli taste good, it adds health benefits. The orange juice and herbs provide a burst of complementary phytochemicals and vitamins to the sulforaphane and vitamin C in the broccoli.
Spring Broccoli
2 cups broccoli florets*
1/4 cup diced purple onion
1/4 cup diced yellow pepper
1/4 cup diced pimento peppers
1 Tbsp. extra virgin olive oil
1 Tbsp. frozen orange juice concentrate, thawed
1/2 Tbsp. rice vinegar
2 cloves garlic, minced
1/2 Tbsp. minced fresh parsley
1/8 tsp. dried marjoram
Salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste
Pinch of cayenne pepper
Steam the broccoli for 2 to 3 minutes, or until it is bright green. Transfer it to a medium bowl. Add the onion, yellow pepper and pimento. In a small bowl, whisk together the olive oil, orange juice concentrate, rice vinegar, garlic, parsley, marjoram, salt, pepper and cayenne. Toss the dressing with the broccoli. Serve at room temperature or cold.
*You can also use fresh green beans instead of broccoli, if desired.
Makes 4 servings.
