Ingredients
Method
Cut broccoli florets from stems. Cut florets into bite-size pieces; peel and cut stems into thin slices.
In large skillet or shallow saucepan, bring 1/4 cup (50 mL) water to boil; reduce heat to medium. Add broccoli and onion; cook, covered, for 3 to 5 minutes or until broccoli is tender-crisp. With slotted spoon, transfer to bowl.
In small bowl, whisk together oil, orange rind and juice, vinegar, mustard, salt and pepper until blended; pour over broccoli mixture. Toss to coat.
