SIMPLE MARINATED BROCCOLI
My aunt used to make this delicious side dish when I would visit, and I recently discovered just how easy it is to make. A great way to encourage kids to eat their broccoli! Blanching of broccoli or any form of cooking broccoli is not recommended for this recipe; it tastes best with raw, chilled broccoli.

AWESOME BROCCOLI MARINARA
This is a great quick version of an Italian traditional side dish in our family all the way from Italy. You can use fresh tomatoes and basil. However, as a mother of four, I opt for the quick method as I'm sure other parents of small ones can appreciate. The kids really love this dish too. Buon Appetito!

CITRUS-MARINATED BROCCOLI AND CHICKPEA SALAD
Not every salad needs to rely on lettuce - and this colorful veggie-packed dish proves the point with color, crunch and a hefty dose of herbs. Marinated broccoli and chickpea make up the bulk of the base, keeping the salad hearty without being heavy. Fresh zucchini and tomatoes add color and texture, and a light and refreshing blend of herbs, garlic and citrus juice bring everything together. Let the salad chill in the fridge for an hour before serving. If you're packing for a picnic in the park, this is one to stash in the cooler.

Steps:
- For the broccoli and chickpea salad: Prepare a large pot of boiling salted water and fill a large bowl with ice water. Remove the broccoli stalks and set aside for another use. Trim the broccoli crown into florets. Add the broccoli florets to the pot of boiling water and blanch for 2 to 3 minutes, until bright green and just fork-tender. Remove the broccoli florets with a slotted spoon and plunge them in the bowl of ice water. Drain the broccoli when fully cooled.
- Place the zucchini in a colander or on paper towels and salt generously. Let stand for 10 minutes, until some water is released.
- Place the broccoli, zucchini, tomatoes, chickpeas and corn in a large bowl; set aside.
- For the citrus-herb marinade: Place the cilantro, parsley, rice wine vinegar, Dijon, Hatch peppers, honey, garlic and orange juice in a food processor and pulse a few times until the herbs and garlic are finely chopped. The mixture will be loose.
- Pour over the vegetables in the bowl and toss to dress. Place in the fridge and chill for 1 hour. Season to taste with salt and pepper before serving.

Steps:
- Make the marinade as far in advance as yoou wish, however do NOT add broccoli until about 1 hr. before you wish to serve as it will wilt. Trim broccoli so you have just the floweretts and toss with marinade. Refrigerate for about 1 hr before serving. Marinade may be reused.
Tips:
- Choose the freshest broccoli you can find. Look for broccoli with tight, compact florets and a deep green color. Avoid broccoli that is wilted or has yellow or brown spots.
- Cut the broccoli into bite-sized pieces. This will help the broccoli to marinate evenly and cook quickly.
- Use a variety of marinades. There are many different marinades that you can use for broccoli, so experiment until you find one that you like. Some popular options include olive oil, lemon juice, garlic, and herbs.
- Marinate the broccoli for at least 30 minutes. This will give the marinade time to penetrate the broccoli and flavor it.
- Cook the broccoli over medium heat. This will help to prevent the broccoli from becoming too soft or mushy.
- Serve the broccoli immediately. Marinated broccoli is best served fresh, so don't let it sit around for too long before eating it.
Conclusion:
Marinated broccoli is a healthy and delicious appetizer that is perfect for any occasion. It is easy to make and can be tailored to your own taste preferences. So next time you are looking for a healthy and tasty snack, give marinated broccoli a try!
