Ingredients
Grilled broccoli is a fantastic side dish any time of the year, but especially in summer when grilling is the name of the game. I often struggle to think of ways to incorporate vegetables into a summer meal that doesn’t involve a salad. Grilling your favorite veggies are a great way to introduce them to your meals when it’s warmer and encourages new ways of serving them. Plus, who doesn’t love that smoky flavor? This broccoli vinaigrette takes boring broccoli to new levels of awesomeness.
