Light and Crunchy Broccoli and Bell Pepper Salad

I know broccoli is good for me, most of us do. Packed with all those great phytonutrients (love that word!), broccoli is one of those cruciferous vegetables nutritionists are always telling us to eat.

Still, just try getting a kid to eat a stalk of steamed broccoli.

What’s good for me in this dish?

Broccoli is a cruciferous vegetable, and a powerhouse of nutrition. Vitamins C, K, A, folate, fiber, manganese, tryptophan and potassium help the body fight bladder, ovarian and prostate cancer. Broccoli is good for detoxification and stomach health; as well as cardiac and vision health. Wow!
