Update From The South Beach Diet


Chinese-Style Broccoli


This nutrient-dense, fiber-rich side dish comes together quickly, so it saves you time in the kitchen. This Asian-inspired creation tastes great with grilled meat or seafood.

Ordinary broccoli springs to life with this garlicky lemon-soy dressing. Serve it with any Asian-flavored dish or even a simple grilled chicken or shrimp skewer.
