Fresh Broccoli Salad Recipe

Recipe Ingredients:

1 lb fresh broccoli, stems peeled and
sliced diagonally, separated into florets
1 red pepper, diced
1 garlic clove, minced
2 tbsp red onion, minced
1/2 cup red wine vinegar
1 tbsp olive oil
1 tbsp chopped fresh chives
2 tbsp chopped fresh parsley
1 tsp dried basil
Freshly-ground black pepper, to taste
1/2 head romaine lettuce, torn bite size

Recipe Instructions:

Steam the broccoli for 5 minutes. Immediately rinse the broccoli under cold running water to stop the cooking process and help the broccoli retain its bright green color.

Add the red pepper, garlic and red onion to the cooled broccoli in a large salad bowl. Combine the rest of the ingredients (except the lettuce) in a small bowl and mix well.

Add lettuce to the broccoli mixture and toss. Pour dressing over the salad and serve.
