I always just steam broccoli and eat it plain, so it's good to see other ways of trying it out. Otherwise I get tired of always eating the same things.

Any clues why?I did immerse it in ice water and let it drain before adding it to the lemon juice.<br />I did make some substitutions. Chives from my garden for the green onions, honey for the sugar, sunflower shoots for the alfalafa sprouts (they were gorgeous at the Co-op and I couldn't pass them up), coconut milk for the cream, goat cheese for the feta. Okay, I guess that's a lot of subs, but hey, isn't that the fun of cooking!?

There is, the lemon vinaigrette is fantastic and the whole combination was a nicely different than usual combination for us even though I actually had everything on hand. This is a keeper.

My husband and I love broccoli with lemon....Alanna,<br />My husband and I love broccoli with lemon. However, we have learned to add the lemon at serving because the lemon in with the broccoli while cooking turns the broccoli the most disgustingly shade of grey-green. How did you get around that? Is it the adding of the sugar that lets it stay green? Help!<br />Huggs, CaitCaithttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14880529623050125631noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11944565.post-27254652634158570422010-05-12T11:10:23.057-05:002010-05-12T11:10:23.057-05:00This looks lovely!
