We eat a lot of salads in our household so it’s nice to change it up a bit and cook some different side dishes from time to time. This broccoli side dish is fast (tick) and easy (tick) and it tastes great (tick). It adds colour to a plate and most children will like the taste (even those who don’t usually like broccoli!!) I can usually get my oldest son to eat this and he is the fussiest child when it comes to anything “green” so that is saying something.
