Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups Broccoli florets
- 2 medium Carrots, peeled and sliced
- 2 cups Cauliflower florets
- 1.5 cups Green beans, trimmed
- 1 medium Zucchini, sliced into rounds
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 3 tablespoons Olive oil
- 3 tablespoons Lemon juice, freshly squeezed
- 2 cloves Garlic, finely minced
- 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
- 1 teaspoon Honey
- 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley, chopped
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper, freshly ground
Instructions
Prepare the vegetables by washing them thoroughly. Cut the broccoli and cauliflower into bite-sized florets. Peel and slice the carrots into thin rounds. Trim the ends of the green beans, and slice the zucchini into 1/4-inch rounds.
Set up a steamer basket over a pot of boiling water. Add the broccoli, cauliflower, carrots, and green beans to the basket. Cover and steam for 8–10 minutes or until the vegetables are tender but still slightly crisp. Add the zucchini during the last 4 minutes of steaming.
While the vegetables are steaming, prepare the lemon garlic dressing. In a small bowl, whisk together the olive oil, lemon juice, garlic, Dijon mustard, honey, parsley, salt, and pepper until combined.
Once the vegetables are cooked, carefully transfer them to a large serving platter. Drizzle the lemon garlic dressing over the vegetables while they are still warm.
Gently toss the vegetables to ensure they are evenly coated with the dressing. Garnish with additional chopped parsley, if desired.
Serve the steamed vegetable platter warm or at room temperature. Pair with crusty bread or grilled proteins for a complete meal.
