Broccoli Bucket
A near-Paleo combo (it's Paleo if consumed raw), but prepared for modern convenience
with good nutrition! As prepared, this veggie bucket tolerates refrigeration for days!
Substitute veggies as desired since minimal cooking is this Paleo's intent.

Tip: For greater convenience, toss broccoli with veggies
(but broccoli cooks better if heated first). Microwave longer
for less al dente texture (try an extra minute).
