Tips:

  • Choose fresh, tender broccoli: Look for broccoli crowns that are deep green in color and have tightly closed florets. Avoid crowns with yellowing or wilted florets.
  • Steam the broccoli until it is bright green and tender-crisp: Overcooked broccoli will be mushy and lose its nutrients.
  • Use a variety of vegetables and nuts: This will add flavor, texture, and nutrients to your salad.
  • Make the dressing ahead of time: This will allow the flavors to meld together.
  • Serve the salad immediately: Steamed broccoli salad is best enjoyed fresh.

Conclusion:

Sunny's Quick Steamed Broccoli Salad is a healthy, delicious, and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for a quick lunch or dinner.
