Number Of Ingredients 4

1 1/4 pounds (1 large bunch) broccoli
1 tablespoon freshly squeezed lime juice
1/2 teaspoon toasted sesame oil
Coarse salt

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.

SALAD DRESSING STEAMED BROCCOLI



Salad Dressing Steamed Broccoli image

Broccoli as a Fast and Healthy Snack/Side. It's simple, and probably common sense, but it's VERY good!

Provided by Shaun McGee

Categories     Lunch/Snacks

Time 3m

Yield 1 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 2

1 cup broccoli floret
1 tablespoon salad dressing

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.

Tips:

  • Choose fresh, vibrant broccoli: Look for broccoli with deep green florets and firm stalks. Avoid broccoli with yellowing or wilted florets.
  • Steam broccoli to perfection: Steaming is the best way to cook broccoli to retain its vibrant color, nutrients, and slightly crunchy texture. Steam broccoli for 5-7 minutes, or until tender but still slightly crisp.
  • Make a flavorful lime dressing: The lime dressing adds a bright, tangy flavor to the broccoli. Use fresh lime juice, olive oil, honey, Dijon mustard, and salt and pepper to taste.
  • Garnish with toasted almonds and sesame seeds: Toasted almonds and sesame seeds add a nutty flavor and crunchy texture to the dish. Toast them in a pan over medium heat until golden brown.

Conclusion:

This steamed broccoli with lime dressing is a simple yet delicious and healthy side dish that can be enjoyed as part of a well-balanced meal. The broccoli is cooked to perfection, retaining its vibrant color, nutrients, and slightly crunchy texture. The lime dressing adds a bright, tangy flavor, while the toasted almonds and sesame seeds add a nutty flavor and crunchy texture. This dish is sure to be a hit with everyone at the table.
