A Broccoli Extravaganza

It is the end of my growing season and my broccoli plants are exploding with goodness.  So what to do with tons of fresh organic vegs.  I gave some away and made these two yummy dishes with the rest.

Broccoli Pumpkin Seed Salad

5 c chopped broccoli small bites
3 scallions with part of the green chopped
1/4 c diced carrot
1/2 c diced celery
1/4 c toasted pumpkin seeds

dressing
3 T vegan mayo
5 T champagne vinegar
1-2 T agave nectar
1 t balsamic vinegar

Mix all the dressing ingredients well and pour over the rest of the salad.  Refrigerate until ready to eat. This even gets better the next day.  Soooo good.

So much texture and flavor!

And I still have broccoli left so I kept on cooking.

Simple Roasted Broccoli

Chop the broccoli into large pieces
Place in a large bowl and drizzle olive oil to lightly coat and then toss in lots of chunky steak seasoning.
Heat oven to 425, spread broccoli on a sheet pan and cook for 15-25 mins until fork tender.  Look out the florets will burn if you leave in too long.
