Best 7 Salad Dressing Steamed Broccoli Recipes

SUNNY'S QUICK STEAMED BROCCOLI SALAD

Steps:

• For the broccoli: Steam the broccoli according to the package directions.
• Add the thyme, garlic and zest to a large bowl and brush or rub the ingredients against the bottom and sides of the bowl. Add the steamed broccoli and toss. Refrigerate until chilled.
• For the dressing: In a medium bowl, add the mayonnaise, sriracha, lemon juice, sugar and some black pepper. Whisk until the sugar dissolves.
• For the salad: Add the red onions, raisins and cranberries to the bowl with the dressing. Stir to combine.
• Discard the thyme from the broccoli. Add the dressing and gently fold until the broccoli is evenly coated. Serve chilled or at room temperature sprinkled with the almonds.

SALAD DRESSING STEAMED BROCCOLI

Steps:

• You can use fresh broccoli, frozen, or what I like to do is get the pre-cut, pre-washed package of "fresh" florets. Just divide it all up into a few snack-sized portions in a zip-lock bag, add a teaspoon of water and toss in the fridge (no water needed if it's frozen).
• When it's time for a snack, toss one of the bags (with the zip NOT sealed!) into the microwave for about 30 seconds (depending on the power of your microwave). This will steam the broccoli in the bag.
• Remove and add a tablespoon or 2 of your favorite dressing (I like low-fat Ranch), seal the bag and shake it up to coat everything with the dressing.
• Pour into a bowl for a fast, easy, healthy snack.

PERFECTLY STEAMED BROCCOLI

Steps:

• Add 1 inch of water to a saucepan and bring to a boil.
• Rinse the broccoli. Use a vegetable peeler to peel the stalks.
• Cut the broccoli into bite-size florets and pieces, and place them in a steamer basket.
• Steam until tender-crisp. Start checking after 5 minutes. As soon as a fork can pierce the stalks, the broccoli is done. Even if the rest of the meal is not ready yet, remove the broccoli from the steamer onto a plate. Crisp steamed broccoli is delicious even at room temperature. Warm limp broccoli is not.
• While the broccoli is steaming, in a small bowl, whisk together the lemon juice, olive oil, salt, pepper, and garlic powder.
• Place the broccoli in a bowl. Pour the dressing on top and gently mix. Serve immediately.

STEAMED BROCCOLI

Steps:

• Place a steamer insert into a saucepan and fill with water to just below the bottom of the steamer. Bring water to a boil. Add broccoli, cover, and steam until tender, 3 to 5 minutes.
• Mix steamed broccoli, bacon, butter, salt, and pepper together in a bowl.

STEAMED BROCCOLI WITH LIME DRESSING

Steps:

• Prepare broccoli: Cut off and discard tough ends of stalks, leaving about 2 inches attached to the florets. Using a paring knife, cut broccoli lengthwise into pieces. With a sturdy vegetable peeler (or sharp knife), peel away the tough outer layer from the stalks. In a large pot fitted with a steamer basket, bring 1 inch of water to a boil. Add broccoli pieces in a single layer. Cover, and steam until tender, about 5 minutes.
• Meanwhile, in a large bowl, whisk together lime juice and sesame oil; season with salt.
• Add broccoli to dressing; toss lightly to coat. Serve immediately.

FRESH BROCCOLI SALAD

Steps:

• Place bacon in a deep skillet and cook over medium high heat until evenly brown. Cool and crumble.
• Cut the broccoli into bite-size pieces and cut the onion into thin bite-size slices. Combine with the bacon, raisins, your favorite nuts and mix well.
• To prepare the dressing, mix the mayonnaise, sugar and vinegar together until smooth. Stir into the salad, let chill and serve.

SIMPLE MARINATED BROCCOLI

Steps:

• Combine olive oil, red wine vinegar, and Italian dressing mix in a sealable container; shake vigorously.
• Place broccoli in a plastic storage container, cover with marinade, and refrigerate, stirring occasionally, for at least 3 hours.
