Marinated Broccoli

Broccoli florets cut into bite size pieces
Italian Dressing

Toss broccoli in dressing and allow to sit for several hours.  Serve on it's own or in a salad.  Great crunchy, savory snack to keep prepared in fridge.

I suggest homemade dressing as most commercial dressings contain HFCS, MSG or another no-no.

Homemade italian dressing recipe:

1/4 cup red wine vinegar

2 garlic cloves, lightly crushed and quartered

1 teaspoon fresh oregano leaves (from 3 or 4 small sprigs or 1 or 2 large sprigs)

1 teaspoon fresh thyme leaves (from 3 or 4 small sprigs or 1 or 2 large sprigs)

1 teaspoon fresh parsley leaves (from 3 or 4 small sprigs or 1 or 2 large sprigs)
