Hello,
Okay everyone just because it is a vegetable it doesn't mean that it has to go onto a vegetable tray to dip into ranch dressing. I am talking about that lovely vegetable "Broccoli"!! Mind you the only way my son or actually both of my sons will eat the trees is to have ranch dressing, but that is besides the point. There are other ways to eat "Broccoli". You can make a broccoli almondine, which is only broccoli and toasted sliced almonds. A broccoli Parmesan, which is broccoli, diced red onion and grated Parmesan cheese. The ideas are endless.
Well I needed a broccoli dish recently at work and as usual I am my most creative when I am in a bind needing something quick and in a hurry! Could have made the "Broccoli Almondine or Broccoli Parmesan", but unfortunately I just did both the day before so it was out of the question. What to do, what to do???? So I opened the refrigerator took a look around and BINGO!!!
I found the following already ready for me: sliced kalamata olives, sliced red onion, sliced sun-dried tomatoes, and crumbled feta cheese. To this I tossed in olive oil, garlic, salt and pepper. I personally thought it looked nice and I was surprised how nice it tasted. The customers must of liked it too, because it sold quickly. This is a do again for sure. So the next time you have some blanched broccoli or "lil trees", as my kids call them, look in your refrigerator and skip the ranch dressing and and be creative. You may be surprised, I was!!!
INGREDIENTS:
BROCCOLI
FETA
KALAMATA OLIVES
RED ONION
SUN-DRIED TOMATOES
OLIVE OIL
GARLIC
SALT AND PEPPER
