Broccoli with Vinaigrette

Makes 4 servings

America's favorite vegetable is even better when it is served with this delicious fat-free dressing. The dressing is easy to make, keeps well in the refrigerator, and is tasty on other vegetables as well.

1 bunch broccoli
¹/₂ cup seasoned rice vinegar
2 teaspoons stone-ground or Dijon mustard
1 - 2 garlic cloves, pressed or minced

Break broccoli into bite-size florets. Peel stems and slice into 1/4-inch rounds. Steam until just tender, about 3 minutes.

While broccoli is steaming, whisk together vinegar, mustard, and garlic in a serving bowl. Add steamed broccoli and toss to mix. Serve immediately.
