1 bunch (approx. 1½ lbs.) fresh broccoli	1/8 teaspoon black pepper
1½ teaspoon lemon zest (zest only; no juice)	1 tablespoon olive oil
½ teaspoon salt	1 tablespoon Parmesan cheese (optional)

Chop broccoli into bite-size floret and tender stem pieces. Steam broccoli until tender but crisp, about 3 minutes. Broccoli should be bright green. Drain well. Grate lemon rind with a zesting tool or on the small grating side of a cheese grater. Toss all of the ingredients in a mixing bowl. Taste and adjust seasonings to your liking. Transfer to a serving dish and enjoy!
