Broccoli With Lemon Sauce (Another Version)

"There are other similar recipes for this lemony broccoli dish, but this is enough different that I thought I'd go ahead and post it. Found in Taste of Home Magazine and as I love lemon and broccoli thought I'd post it for safe keeping. It states that it would also be good over cauliflower. Update: Finally got around to making this and felt it is very good with a nice punch of lemon. I did steam the broccoli instead of boiling and the sauce was so easy."

  1. Nice broccoli dish. My fresh broccoli had seen better days, so I used some frozen chopped broccoli for this. I'm sure that the sauce would be great with fresh tho. This is simple and good. Thanks for sharing this nice keeper, Bonnie. Made for Rookie Tag.
