The first words out the BF's mouth was "this is Mexican?" LOL I'm not sure but it was quite tasty regardless! The instructions were very clear and the garlic....oh my favorite!!! I loved how the broccoli was just crunchy enough without the slight bitterness it has when it's raw. I think that we would reduce the soy sauce or try another dressing next time as it wasn't LOVED but it was a great change of pace for us. Thanks!!

REALLY REALLY GOOD! I would love to eat a bowl of the roasted garlic alone it was so incredible. Not sure why this is called Mexican broccoli since it tasted almost asian to me, but who cares? Yummy and easy. What more could you ask for? We loved it. Thanks for posting. I didn't change a thing.

A nice flavorful salad that goes together quickly. All that garlic is a real treat, and it made the house smell great while it roasted! I did cut each clove in half since they were really big. Thanks for the recipe Bergy; I'll make it again.
