Marinated Broccoli Salad



This was one of my contributions to Easter dinner... being the only vegetarian in my family means that I am responsible for the veggie dishes at holidays!  This is a good option for holidays because it's EASY and it can be made the night before (as is the nature of marinades, the longer it sits, the better the flavor).  It's bit different than most marinated veggie dishes because of the addition of the bread crumbs, which you don't often see with a cold dish.  In order to avoid sogginess, don't stir in the bread crumbs until you're ready to serve, or keep them on the side and let everyone add as much as they please.

4 tsp olive oil
1 tbsp white wine vinegar
1 1/2 tsp lemon juice
1 tsp honey
1 clove garlic, minced
1/4 tsp paprika
1 bag frozen broccoli, thawed and drained
1/4 cup chopped onion

Combine all ingredients in a sealed container and shake well.  refrigerate overnight.

Bread crumbs
1-2 slices of bread
1/4 tsp garlic powder
1/4 tsp onion powder
1/4 tsp paprika
1/4 tsp oregano
2 tbsp butter

Put all dry ingredients in food processor and blend until you've reached your desired consistency.  Melt the butter over medium-low head and add breadcrumbs.  Stir until crumbs are browned.  Set aside and add to broccoli immediately before serving, or let everyone add as much or as little as they want on their own.
