I love this quick, healthy side-dish to serve with a weeknight meal or anytime. Broccoli is a great source of fiber, calcium and omega-3 fatty acids. Garlic takes the flavor from bland to second serving request level. I started making this recipe when my daughter was in grade school. She's 21 now and still loves her vegetables!
Ingredients
- 1 Broccoli head
- 4 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil

In a large bowl combine the broccoli, olive oil, garlic, salt and pepper.

-
Transfer to a bowl then squeeze the desired amount of lemon. Serve immediately.
