Ingredients
- 24 oz broccoli florets fresh or frozen
- 1/4 cup olive oil
- 1 tsp kosher salt
- 1/4 tsp garlic powder
- Juice and zest of one lemon about 1/4 cup
Instructions
- Put broccoli in a large, microwave safe bowl with a splash of water and cover. Steam broccoli in the microwave for 5-8 minutes or until it's crisp but has lost the "raw" texture. NOTE: I usually use two fresh 12-oz. steam-in-bag bags of broccoli, and cook each one separately in the microwave for 2.5 minutes with great results. When I put all the broccoli together in a single bowl I find it takes longer.
- Chill until cold. A couple hours in the fridge should do it, but please see my notes in the post for quicker alternatives.
- When broccoli is cold, toss with olive oil, salt, and garlic powder. Add lemon juice and zest and toss again. Adjust seasonings to taste (see notes in post).
