Directions

Arrange broccoli, cauliflower florets and water in a large microwave-safe bowl.

Cover and cook on High until just tender, 3 to 5 minutes. (Or team over 1 inch boiling water in a large saucepan fitted with a steamer basket until just tender, 3 to 5 minutes.) Drain.

Whisk together lemon juice, oil, garlic powder, oregano, sugar and salt in another large bowl.

Stir in the vegetables and toss to evenly combine.

Allow to marinate in the refrigerator, stirring twice, for at least 25 minutes or longer.

Mix in olives and tomatoes.

Drizzle with left dressing in the bowl over the salad.

Serve.
