Broccoli & Cauliflower Toss From the galley of Jeanne Helldorfer  
   
  • 4 cups cauliflower flowerets
  • 4 cups broccoli flowerets
  • ½ cup half-and-half (don't use fat free)
  • 4 ounces blue cheese crumbled
  • ½ cup mayonnaise
  • ½ cup chopped green onions
  • ¼ hopped pecans, toasted
  1. Cook cauliflower in boiling salted water for 2-3 minutes. It needs to be crunchy. Put in ice water. Drain and dry as much as possible.
  2. Do the same for the broccoli.
  3. Heat half-and-half in a saucepan over low heat (do not boil). Add blue cheese and cook, stirring constantly with a wire whisk until cheese melts. Don't melt all the cheese – leave some chunks. Remove from heat. Wisk in mayo.
  4. Pour blue cheese mixture over the veggies, tossing gently.
  5. Put in good bowl and sprinkle top with green onions and pecans.
