• Tasty Tuesday: Broccoli Salad

  

  I love broccoli!  Hot or cold, steamed or raw, I serve this nutritious food several times a week. Just 1 1/2 cups (steamed) takes care of the 3 servings of veggies I need each day.  That's my favorite way to eat it:  plainly steamed.  At the table I sometimes top it with fresh lemon juice.   

  For the family cookbook, I'm posting this cold salad recipe.  Quantities will follow. 

  Broccoli flowerettes
  Red Onion, diced
  Raisins
  Sunflower Seeds, salted
  Dressing (mayo, white vinegar, sugar)

  It's easy to leave out the bacon bits that so many cooks call for in this recipe.  And it saves on calories.

  What veggies did you eat over the *holiday* weekend?

   

  Added later:  Discovered this online article touting the positive effects of broccoli.  Read and eat!
