Steps:
- Using a sharp paring knife, peel the tough skin from the broccoli stems and cut away the stem ends.
- Cut off the florets and cut the peeled stems on the diagonal into 1 1/2-inch thick sections.
- Separate the larger florets so that all are approximately the same size.
- If cooking cauliflower, remove any leaves and break or cut into florets, about 1 1/2 inches wide.
- Arrange the broccoli or cauliflower in a steamer tray, or on a plate set on a rack.
- Fill a wok or pot with several inches of water and heat to boiling.
- Place the vegetable over the boiling water and steam 6-8 minutes, or until tender.
- I like my veggies crisp tender so I steam mine just a few minutes.
- Steam them till they're the way you like, check after 3-4 minutes.
- Drain any water from the broccoli or cauliflower.
- Put the vegetable in a serving bowl, add the dressing, toss lightly and serve.

LEMON SAUCE FOR BROCCOLI OR CAULIFLOWER
Tired of cheese sauce? Try this quick sauce for a change. MAY 2008: EDITED to add the small amount of sugar the reviewers suggested -- thank you both! This recipe only makes a small amount of sauce, for a small to medium head of broccoli (I usually break mine into florets), so double the recipe for more sauce.
