Broccoli with Walnuts

When you are following a low fat diet, vegetables are a major component but eating them just steamed or boiled can get rather tedious. This recipe jazzes up broccoli with walnuts. Broccoli is a fabulous vegetable packed with nutrition and should only be cooked lightly to keep that vibrant green colour. Adding in a few walnuts not only introduces a different crunch and flavour but they too are a little mouthful of healthy goodness.
