Italian Broccoli Salad

This recipe for a very easy broccoli salad uses only four ingredients and some bottled dressing. Fast and simple to get on the table after a short stay in the fridge to blend the flavors. And, it tastes great the next day if you make extra and have leftovers. Blessings...

Recipe:

2 cups chopped fresh broccoli florets and thin stems
2/3 cup chopped Roma tomato (1 3-oz tomato)
1/4 cup sliced black olives (8 olives)
1/4 cup chopped onion, white or red
1/2 cup lite Italian dressing (see note)
freshly grated Parmesan cheese, optional

1. Place chopped vegetables in a bowl and pour dressing over; stir to combine and cover.
2. Refrigerate salad for an hour, or more, to blend flavors.
3. Sprinkle individual servings with Parmesan cheese, if desired.
