Blanch Broccoli for Enhanced Color and Flavor

Blanching the broccoli before adding it to a fresh salad will provide a brighter and more flavorful broccoli but will maintain its fresh crisp texture.

• Bring water to a boil in a saucepan and then add the broccoli.
• Cook for only 2 minutes and then immerse in cold water immediately to stop the cooking process.
• Drain well and pat dry with a paper towel before adding to your fresh salad.
