Ingredients:
12 ounces bite-size broccoli florets
1/4 cup extra virgin olive oil
2 1/2 tablespoons lemon juice
2 tablespoons minced chives
1 clove garlic, minced
1/2 teaspoon dry mustard
salt
fresh ground pepper
1/2 cup finely chopped red bell peppers
1/2 cup crumbled feta cheese
1/4 cup sunflower seeds
Directions:
Loosely mound broccoli on a steamer rack over 1 inch of boiling water in a 2-3 quart pan; cover and steam over high heat until broccoli is barely tender when pierced, about 5 minutes; rinse broccoli with cold water, drain well, and pat dry with paper towels.
While broccoli is cooking, prepare dressing: in a large bowl, combine olive oil, lemon juice, chives, garlic and mustard; whisk to blend well; season to taste with salt and pepper.
Add broccoli, red pepper, and half of the cheese to dressing; mix lightly to coat well with dressing.
Sprinkle with sunflower kernels and remaining cheese and serve immediately.
