Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 cups broccoli florets
- 1 cup sour cream
- 2 tablespoons tomato paste
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 0.5 teaspoon paprika
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
Fill a medium pot with water and bring it to a boil over high heat.
Add a pinch of salt to the boiling water and blanch the broccoli florets for 2-3 minutes, until they are vibrant green and tender-crisp.
Drain the broccoli and immediately submerge it in a bowl of ice water to stop the cooking process. After 1-2 minutes, drain the broccoli again and set it aside.
In a mixing bowl, combine the sour cream, tomato paste, lemon juice, olive oil, garlic powder, paprika, salt, and black pepper. Whisk until smooth and well blended.
Add the cooled broccoli florets to the bowl and gently toss them in the dressing until fully coated.
Transfer the dressed broccoli to a serving dish. Garnish with freshly chopped parsley if desired.
Serve immediately as a warm side dish or refrigerate for 20 minutes and serve chilled for a refreshing option.
