Steps:
- Heat oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add garlic and saute 1 minute. Add broccoli and cranberries and saute 3 minutes, until broccoli is crisp-tender. Season, to taste, with salt and black pepper.
Tips:
- Choose fresh, vibrant broccoli: Look for broccoli with tightly closed florets and a deep green color. Avoid broccoli with yellow or wilted florets.
- Wash the broccoli thoroughly: Soak the broccoli in a bowl of cold water for a few minutes to remove any dirt or debris.
- Cut the broccoli into bite-sized pieces: This will help the broccoli cook evenly and make it easier to eat.
- Don't overcook the broccoli: Broccoli is best when it is cooked just until tender-crisp. Overcooked broccoli will become mushy and lose its flavor.
- Use a variety of dried cranberries: You can use sweetened or unsweetened dried cranberries, depending on your preference. You can also use a mix of different types of dried cranberries, such as white cranberries or golden cranberries.
- Add some nuts or seeds for extra crunch: Chopped walnuts, almonds, or sunflower seeds are all great additions to this salad.
- Serve the salad immediately: This salad is best enjoyed fresh. If you need to make it ahead of time, store it in the refrigerator for up to 24 hours.
