  • 1 garlic clove, finely chopped
  • 1 teaspoon lemon juice
  • 1/8 teaspoon salt

Steps

  • 1
    Heat 6 cups water to boiling in 2-quart saucepan. Add broccoli. Heat to boiling; boil uncovered 2 minutes.

    Add bell pepper to saucepan. Boil 1 to 2 minutes or until vegetables are crisp-tender. Drain; remove from saucepan.

Tips from the Betty Crocker Kitchens

  • tip 1
    Have you tried broccoflower, the new vegetable that’s a hybrid of broccoli and cauliflower? This side dish is just as tasty and pretty if you use broccoflower instead of the broccoli.
  • tip 2
    Skip the garlic chopping, and use 1 teaspoon of finely chopped garlic from a jar instead.
