This is healthy, quick, and delicious. Steaming brings out the flavor and retains the color and most of the nutrients are preserved. It tastes so good when served with the Mediterranean Dressing that follows.

Ingredients

1 lb broccoli

3 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
2 teaspoons lemon juice

Cut the broccoli florets into quarters and cut the stems into 1/4" pieces; let sit for 5 minutes to bring out the hidden health benefits.
