Method:

1. Place florets in a steamer. Steam over boiling water until just tender (approximately 3 minutes). If you have only a small steamer this can be done in batches.

2. When cooked, plunge instantly into ice water, taking care not to break the florets. Cool, cover with plastic warp. Refrigerate overnight.

3. TO PREPARE ITALIAN DRESSING: Combine vinegar, garlic, salt and pepper. Gradually whisk in oil and parsley. Sprinkle over broccoli florets just before serving.

4. TO PREPARE LIME MAYONNAISE: Whisk ingredients together in a bowl. This dressing can be prepared in advance and stored in the refrigerator. Serve separately.
