Ingredients
- 4 cups broccoli florets
- 1 medium jicama
- 1 medium red bell pepper
- 1 large carrot
- 0.5 medium red onion
- 0.25 cup fresh cilantro
- 3 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 tablespoons lime juice
- 1 tablespoon honey
- 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
- 0.5 teaspoon salt

Instructions
Start by preparing the vegetables. Wash the broccoli florets and cut them into bite-sized pieces.
Peel the jicama and cut it into thin matchstick strips or small cubes.
Dice the red bell pepper, grate the carrot, and thinly slice half of the red onion.
Chop the fresh cilantro and set aside for later use.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the broccoli florets, jicama strips, red bell pepper, grated carrot, red onion, and chopped cilantro.
In a small bowl, whisk together the olive oil, lime juice, honey, Dijon mustard, salt, and black pepper to create the dressing.
Pour the dressing over the vegetable mixture and toss everything together until evenly coated.
Let the salad sit for 10 minutes to allow the flavors to meld, or serve immediately for maximum crunch.
Serve chilled or at room temperature. Enjoy!
