  • Total 10 min

Ingredients

  • 4 cups water
  • 2 cups fresh broccoli florets
  • 2 small plum (Roma) tomatoes, chopped (2/3 cup)
  • 1/4 cup reduced-fat feta cheese
  • 2 tablespoons fat-free balsamic vinaigrette
  • 2 teaspoons chopped fresh or 1 teaspoon dried oregano leaves

Steps

  • 1
    In 2-quart saucepan, heat water to boiling over high heat. Add broccoli; cook 10 to 20 seconds or until broccoli is bright green. Drain broccoli; rinse in cold water until cool.
  • 2
    In small serving bowl, stir broccoli and remaining ingredients.

  • Cooking the broccoli for a very short time, called blanching. It brings out the bright green color of the broccoli and softens it just a bit.
  • Chopped red onion and diced red bell pepper would be nice additions to this salad, too.
