LEMON, OLIVE, AND CAPER SAUCE FOR VEGETABLES
This all-purpose sauce for dressing cooked vegetables provides a strong enough flavor to stand up to strong-flavored vegetables such as broccoli. It goes well with almost any green vegetable. It is a good substitute for cheese sauce as it is much lower in calories, and provides a somewhat salty-tart flavor with addition of any salt. Preparation could not be easier.. This comes from the Healthy Plate section of the Louisville Courier-Journal.
