Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 medium carrots
- 1 head broccoli
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1.5 tablespoons prepared horseradish
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- 1 teaspoon honey
- 0.5 teaspoons salt
- 0.25 teaspoons black pepper
- 2 tablespoons water
Instructions
Peel and slice the carrots into thin rounds.
Cut the broccoli into small florets, discarding the tough stalks.
Fill a medium pot with water and bring it to a boil. Add a pinch of salt.
Blanch the carrots in the boiling water for 2 minutes, then add the broccoli and continue blanching for another 2 minutes.
Drain the vegetables and immediately transfer them to a bowl of ice water to halt the cooking process. After a minute, drain and pat the vegetables dry with a clean kitchen towel.
In a small bowl, whisk together the olive oil, prepared horseradish, lemon juice, honey, salt, black pepper, and water until well combined.
In a large mixing bowl, toss the carrots and broccoli with the horseradish dressing until evenly coated.
Transfer the vegetables to a serving dish and serve immediately, or refrigerate for up to 2 hours before serving for a chilled option.
