Cuisine: American
Serves: 4 servings
Ingredients
  • 1 large bunch broccoli, cut into florets
  • 2 tablespoon red wine vinegar
  • 2 tablespoons maple syrup
  • 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
  • 2 tablespoons walnut oil
  • ¼ cup chopped walnuts
Instructions
  1. Steam the broccoli, or boil it in lightly salted water, until crisp-tender. This takes about 5 to 7 minutes with steaming, 3 to 5 minutes with boiling.
  2. Meanwhile, whisk together the vinegar, maple syrup, and mustard in a small bowl. Gradually whisk in the walnut oil.
  3. Place the cooked broccoli in a shallow serving dish. Pour the vinaigrette over the broccoli and sprinkle with walnuts. Serve immediately for a warm dish. It can be refrigerated and served cold, if preferred.
Notes
Veggie Options: This dish works equally well with Brussels sprouts or cauliflower substituted for the broccoli.

Bacon Option: Crumble 2 slices of bacon or vegan bacon and sprinkle on with the walnuts.
