Okay, so no one really calls it B. coli. Broccoli, a cruciferous vegetable, is easy to grow. After cutting the main head, small sideshoots will continue to sprout from the main stalk. Here is the recipe for Broccoli Apple Salad, another family favorite, handed down to me from my mother:
- One bunch of broccoli, cut into florets and steamed (or microwaved) lightly, approximately 3 minutes
- One apple, cored and cut into bite-sized pieces
- Two stalks celery, chopped
- Cheddar cheese, preferably orange in color, cut into cubes
- One generous dollop of Miracle Whip
- Optional: chopped walnuts or peanuts
Mix all ingredients gently and refrigerate until ready to serve.
and a plate of deviled eggs would make a cool meal on a hot summer evening :)
