Ingredients
- 1 pound frozen mixed broccoli and cauliflower, or use fresh
- 4 ounces kumquats, about 10 - 12 (use more or fewer according to preference)
- 10 black olives, preferably Kalamata or other flavorful kind
- prepare vinaigrette dressing: ( or use purchased vinaigrette )
- 1 clove garlic
- 3 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 tablespoon vinegar or lemon juice
- 1/2 teaspoon salt and a few grinds of pepper 
 
Small and citrusy, kumquats add real zing to these rather bland vegetables. This is also good using
all broccoli or all cauliflower, but the blend provides more variety in color and flavor.
 
Directions
  • Bring 2 cups water to boil in a saucepan. Add kumquats, return water to boil and boil for
    about 30 seconds. Remove kumquats and cool in cold water. When cool enough to handle, slice into
    thin rounds, removing seeds.
  • If you're not using prepared dressing, mash or press garlic and
