Ingredients

• One 16oz package frozen chopped broccoli, rinsed in a colander to thaw--pick out icky bits.
• One large cucumber, peeled and diced
• 1/2 c torn parsley
• (Opt) 1 apple, diced--Fujis work well for this
• (Opt) 1 red bell pepper, diced (mostly for color contrast)

Toss and combine with a vinaigrette, fruity dressing, or Japanese-style sesame-miso dressing. Parsley is ridiculously good for you, and balances the cucumber texture nicely. The broccoli adds lots of calcium (which you can augment further with a bit of shredded hard cheese like Parmesan).
