Another way to prepare broccoli. When I was growing up, we never drowned vegetables in melted butter. That happened after I was an adult. Mom and dad make an oil and vinegar dressing for most of their vegetables, something my grandmother Lily did when my dad was growing up. Whenever we had broccoli or cauliflower, it was prepared as a “salad” by first steaming the vegetables, and then dressing them in oil and vinegar.
