“This nutritious recipe is my favorite potluck contribution,” says Florence Hendrickson of Albuquerque, New Mexico. “I lightened it up, and it’s tastier than the original!”

Ingredients

  • 4 cups fresh broccoli florets
  • 2 tablespoons reduced-sodium soy sauce
  • 1 tablespoon balsamic vinegar
  • 2 garlic cloves, minced
  • Sugar substitute equivalent to 2 teaspoons sugar
  • 1/4 teaspoon pepper
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 jar (4 ounces) diced pimientos, drained
  • 2 tablespoons slivered almonds, toasted

Directions

  1. Place broccoli in a steamer basket; place in a large saucepan over 1 in. of water. Bring to a boil; cover and steam for 4-7 minutes or until crisp-tender. Rinse in cold water; drain. Transfer to a large bowl; cover and refrigerate until chilled.
