5-Minute Broccoli
"This is healthy, quick, and delicious. Steaming brings out the flavor and retains the color and most of the nutrients are preserved. The broccoli tastes so good when served with the Mediterranean Dressing that follows."

Step by Step Method
Step 1
Cut the broccoli florets into quarters and cut the stems into 1/4" pieces; let sit for 5 minutes to bring out the hidden health benefits; chop, mince, or press garlic and let that sit for 5 minutes, too.
Step 2
Fill the bottom of the steamer with 2" of water and bring to boil.
Step 3
Put in broccoli and let steam for 5 minutes; if the stems are cut any larger than 1/4", you will need to put them in 2-3 minutes before the florets are added.
Step 4
Transfer to a bowl and add the dressing if desired which does not have to be made separately; just add it and toss.
