This is my favorite kind of salad—packed with seasonal veggies and enhanced by a simple vinaigrette. It would be an amazing cookout side. To make it to go over to a friend’s house, whisk the dressing separately and dress when you arrive. You can even blanch the veggies the day before! Serve it with chips, rice, or as a side. I love eating leftovers in a bowl the next day.
Ingredients
2 heads broccoli
1 large bunch asparagus
2 cups sugar snap peas
Juice of 1 lemon
¼ cup olive oil
1 teaspoon salt
Black pepper
½ teaspoon garlic powder
2 tablespoons nutritional yeast
1 garlic clove
Splash of white vinegar
¼ cup fresh dill
Directions
Bring a large pot of water to a boil and set up an ice bath.
Finely chop the broccoli. Trim the asparagus and snap peas and cut them into ¼” pieces on a bias.
Add the veggies to the water and cook for 1 minute, until bright green and slightly tender.
Drain the veggies and transfer to the ice bath to stop the cooking.
After about a minute, drain the vegetables again and place in a large bowl. Add the lemon juice, olive oil, salt, a few turns of black pepper, garlic powder, nutritional yeast, garlic, and white vinegar to the bowl and stir well to get everything coated.
Finely chop the dill and add it to the bowl. Stir again to combine and serve.
