I say no, you’re wrong, you’re probably just over cooking it! Pair this cold broccoli salad with a meal prepped meat and you have a winning combo for a few meals throughout the week! Read below for the super easy recipe.
Here’s how to make it:
DESCRIPTION:
Preparation: 10m
Cook Time: 20m
Serves: 4
INGREDIENTS:
- 2 heads broccoli
- 6 sweet peppers
- 2 tablespoons avocado oil
- salt and pepper to taste
- 3 cups chicken broth
INSTRUCTIONS
- Use a traditional steamng pot or use a large stock pot with lid. It goes without saying, but tear or chop the broccoli head into florets before cooking. Bring broth to boil and toss in broccoli. Don’t overcook here. Steam until a fork can penetrate the floret stems, not until it is a colorless wilted weed as most restaurants steam their veggies to.
- Drain any excess liquid and toss the broccoli with peppers and oil and let set for about 10 mins or so.
- Chill broccoli. It is now cold broccoli salad! You made it!
