Ingredients
2 tbsp lime or lemon juice
1 tbsp olive oil
2 garlic cloves, minced
1 tsp dried basil
1/2 tsp hot-red-chili-flakes, optional
1/2 tsp salt
1 large head broccoli
1 red or orange bell pepper
2-Jan red onion
3 plum tomtoes
Instructions
Partially fill a large saucepan with water and bring to a boil over high heat. Meanwhile, in a large bowl, whisk lime juice with oil, garlic, basil, chili flakes and salt.
Slice broccoli florets from stalks. Cut florets into bite-size pieces. Peel stalks, then slice into thin rounds. Slice pepper into thin strips. Thinly slice onion and coarsely chop tomatoes.
Add broccoli florets and stems to boiling water. Boil, uncovered, 2 min. Then add pepper and onion. Boil until broccoli is tender-crisp, about 1 more min. Drain vegetables well, then add to dressing along with tomatoes. Gently stir to coat evenly. Serve warm or at room temperature. Best to serve within 2 to 3 hours of making. Wonderful with steak or chicken.
