Ingredients
Fresh washed broccoli
Fresh washed cauliflower
Directions
Place fresh washed fresh broccoli in a microwaveable bowl; cover. Microwave on high for three minutes. Do the same with fresh cauliflower.
Combine in a pretty serving dish by piling broccoli in the middle with cauliflower around edge, or vice-versa. If you wish, you can mix 2 tablespoons butter or margarine with 3-ounces reduced-fat Cheddar cheese and 3-ounces reduced-fat Monterey Jack cheese, melt in microwave; then dribble over the top of vegetables.
Bonus: Steamed Broccoli Florets
Freshly steamed broccoli florets are delicious as a side dish, especially when tossed with a unique dressing. For broccoli with a Mediterranean flair, combine 1/2 cup vinaigrette dressing, 1 tablespoon chopped sun-dried tomatoes and 1 tablespoon pitted kalamata olives; toss gently with the broccoli.
Notable Nutrition Note
Broccoli is the superhero of the vegetable kingdom with its rich vitamin A content. There are two main ingredients in cauliflower that are main disease fighters. These are indole-3-carbinol, or 13C, and the photonutrient sulforaphane.
