For an extra layer of flavor, consider adding a pinch of red pepper flakes or a clove of minced garlic to the marinade. Using high-quality olive oil and red wine vinegar will significantly enhance the overall taste of the dish. While the recipe calls for raw broccoli, you can lightly steam or blanch the florets for a slightly softer texture if preferred. However, be sure to chill them completely before marinating. This marinated broccoli is best served cold. It's a perfect make-ahead side dish for potlucks, picnics, or weeknight dinners. Feel free to experiment with different types of vinegar, such as balsamic or white wine vinegar, to customize the flavor profile.
