"One of the few vegetables my kids will eat is broccoli," Duggan says, "so I found new ways to use it." Sodium reflects 1/8 teaspoon kosher salt.

Ingredients

  • Leaves and stalks from 1 bunch broccoli (about 3 stalks), cut into batons
  • 1 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil
  • 1 1/2 teaspoons fresh lime juice
  • Kosher salt and black pepper

How to Make It

Step 1

Place the broccoli batons flat on a cutting board, then use a sharp vegetable peeler to shave the broccoli into paper-thin strips.

Step 2

Place the shaved broccoli and leaves in a medium bowl and toss with the olive oil, lime juice, and salt and pepper to taste. Gently fold in the cheese and serve immediately.

This is a really tasty and easy recipe. I usually use Queso Fresco in place of feta but it works just as well. Such a great use of something I used to throw in the compost bin. As the other person mentioned, I now like the stems better than the florets but I love that I can get two meals out of broccoli.

I was a little tentative about making this with something like broccoli stalks that are usually saved for soups or just thrown out, but I went ahead and shaved them, made the vinaigrette and sprinkled on some feta. I am so, so glad that I did. The salad is excellent; refreshing and delicious. I found that I actually like the stalk of the vegetable more than the florets.
