Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 large carrots
- 2 cups broccoli florets
- 1 cup bean shoots
- 1 cup cherry tomatoes
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- 1 teaspoon maple syrup
- 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 tablespoon sesame seeds
Instructions
Peel the carrots and use a julienne peeler or spiralizer to create thin carrot strips. Set aside.
Bring a pot of water to a boil and blanch the broccoli florets for 2 minutes. Immediately transfer them to an ice bath to cool, then drain well.
Rinse the bean shoots thoroughly under cold water and pat them dry with a clean kitchen towel.
Halve the cherry tomatoes and finely chop the fresh parsley.
In a small bowl, whisk together the olive oil, lemon juice, maple syrup, Dijon mustard, salt, and black pepper to create the dressing.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the julienned carrots, blanched broccoli, bean shoots, cherry tomatoes, and parsley.
Pour the dressing over the salad and toss gently to ensure the vegetables are evenly coated.
Sprinkle the sesame seeds on top for added crunch and flavor.
Serve the salad immediately or refrigerate for up to 2 hours before serving for an extra refreshing experience.
