by Staff Writer

Ah, broccoli. The food kids love to hate. And, even some grownups. These recipes, however, may change your thoughts on this under-loved green veggie.

White Bean and Broccoli Dip with Pesto

by choosing raw - vegan and raw recipes
This dip is uber nutritious, thanks to a winning combination of protein and fiber rich legumes and micronutrient-rich broccoli. This combination also makes the dish rich in iron (the beans alone boast about 10% of your daily value). You can play around with texture and add more broccoli if you'd like to, but I thought two (heaping) steamed cups were just about perfect. Certainly enough to impart a delightful color.

Creamy Broccoli Salad
Creamy Broccoli Salad
by recipe rebuild
In this particular salad, I featured broccoli used raw cut into bite sized pieces to which I added shredded carrots, red onions, slivered red peppers, and sunflower seeds. For my dressing, I wanted to create something creamy but I also wanted to keep it healthy. I did have a small avocado on hand that was quite ripe so I made a dressing of the avocado, fat free Greek yogurt, apple cider vinegar, lemon, salt and pepper. This salad is colorful, crunchy, and full of flavor and would be a great choice for lunch, or as a side dish for dinner, particularly when grilling outdoors.

by the perfect pantry
The solution to the pre-dinner blahs is a repertoire of easy, yet impressive, appetizers, like these samosa wontons. The dip is store-bought mango chutney, and the wontons are baked, not fried, so nobody starts the meal with a mouth full of grease. The traditional mashed potato and pea filling gets a kick from Madras (yellow) curry paste.
