- 2 tbsp olive oil
- 1/4 tbsp salt
- 1/4 tbsp pepper
- 3/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese optional
- Shaved Parmesan cheese and purple basil leaves optional
Instructions
- Place broccoli in a large bowl. Combine the lemon juice, oil, salt and pepper; drizzle over broccoli and toss to coat. Let stand for 30 minutes.
- Toss broccoli, then drain marinade. Place cheese in a large resealable plastic bag. Add broccoli, a few pieces at a time, shake to coat.
