  • 1 cup carrot, grated
  • 1/2 large red onion, finely chopped
  • 1/3 cup olive oil
  • 1 tbsp honey
  • 1 tbsp dijon mustard

Instructions

  • In a large bowl, combine all of the chopped broccoli, radishes, carrots, and onion.
  • In a separate bowl, whisk together the olive oil, honey, mustard, garlic, salt, and pepper until thoroughly combined.
  • Pour the dressing over the prepared vegetables. Cover and regrigerate, and let the salad sit for 10-20 minutes before serving so that the marinade can soften the vegetables.

  • Serve and enjoy!

Notes

I love to serve this salad with handfuls of fresh mint alongside grilled chicken or shrimp. It's the perfect summer salad and can be adjusted to suit your taste!
