Anytime I find a recipe full of vegetables that my family will eat, I'm a happy mom, write Colleen Edelsward of Woodinville, Washington. My husband comes back for seconds when I serve this. Tip: The carrots and beans are great finger food for young kids, she adds.
Ingredients:
1/2 cup baby carrots, cut in half lengthwise
2 cups cut fresh green beans
1/4 cup chopped radishes
1/4 cup chopped red onion
dressing:
1 tablespoon lemon juice
1-1/2 teaspoons olive oil
1/2 teaspoon sugar
1/2 teaspoon dijon mustard
1/4 teaspoon minced garlic
1/8 teaspoon salt
1/8 teaspoon ground cumin
1-1/2 teaspoons sesame seeds, toasted
Directions:
1. In a small saucepan, cook carrots in a small amount of boiling water for 4 minutes. Add the beans; cook 4-5 minutes longer or until vegetables are crisp-tender. Drain; chill in ice water. Drain and pat dry; place in a large bowl. Add radishes and onion.
2. In a small bowl, whisk the lemon juice, oil, sugar, mustard, garlic, salt and cumin. Pour over bean mixture; toss to coat. Cover and refrigerate until serving. Sprinkle with sesame seeds. Yield: 4 servings.
