In the kitchen with Kelley: Broccoli and horseradish sauce

Broccoli is one of those foods I know I should eat more of. But I will confess it’s never been my favorite.

If I cooked it, I usually smothered in cheese sauce, or ate it raw with lots of ranch dressing. That probably cancelled out most of its health-boosting benefits.

And those benefits are many. But it is broccoli’s cancer fighting reputation that I’m most interested in. Broccoli has been hailed as the brassica that stops cancer growth.

But if you really want to boost broccoli’s cancer-fighting powers — pair it with horseradish. Both broccoli and horseradish contain anti-cancer compounds, but horseradish has been found to be even 10x more powerful than broccoli in this respect.

This great recipe I found for broccoli and horseradish sauce is a tasty way to enjoy the amped up power of these two cruciferous vegetables. The original recipe called for ¼ cup of mayonnaise, but I substituted Greek yogurt and was very happy with the outcome. Enjoy!
