Instructions
- Partially fill a large saucepan with water and bring to a boil over high heat. Meanwhile, in a large bowl, whisk lime juice with oil, garlic, basil, chili flakes and salt.
- Slice broccoli florets from stalks. Cut florets into bite-size pieces. Peel stalks, then slice into thin rounds. Slice pepper into thin strips. Thinly slice onion and coarsely chop tomatoes.
- Add broccoli florets and stems to boiling water. Boil, uncovered, 2 min. Then add pepper and onion. Boil until broccoli is tender-crisp, about 1 more min. Drain vegetables well, then add to dressing along with tomatoes. Gently stir to coat evenly. Serve warm or at room temperature. Best to serve within 2 to 3 hours of making. Wonderful with steak or chicken.
