Veggie Medley Recipe

Preparation

1. 1

   Prepare the Broccoli

   Wash the broccoli florets under cold running water. Cut them into smaller pieces if they are too large, aiming for bite-sized florets.

2. 2

   Slice the Carrots

   Peel the carrots using a vegetable peeler. Slice them into thin rounds, about 1/4 inch thick.

3. 3

   Blanch the Vegetables

   Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the broccoli florets and sliced carrots to the boiling water. Blanch for about 3-4 minutes, until they are tender-crisp.

4. 4

   Drain and Cool

   Using a slotted spoon, remove the vegetables from the boiling water and immediately transfer them to a bowl of ice water to stop the cooking process. Let them sit for 2-3 minutes, then drain and set aside.

5. 5

   Serve

   You can serve the veggie medley warm or cold. Optionally, drizzle with olive oil, lemon juice, or your favorite dressing before serving.
