Steamed Broccoli with Lemon and Walnuts
I like to make steamed broccoli with lemon and toasted walnuts during the week. It feels special but is a snap to prepare and is always polished off by the end of the meal.
We should really call the the Superfood Side Dish because the key ingredients top every list of foods that benefit our bodies. Broccoli for your digestive system, walnuts for your brain and lemons to balance your alkalinity and all fight the free radicals that bombard us every day. Delicious, life enhancing foods, just a few of the way Hashem shows us how much He loves us.
STEAMED BROCCOLI WITH LEMON & WALNUTS
2 bunches broccoli, broken into florets
or 1 (24 ounce) bag frozen broccoli florets
