Hello! I know I'm a little behind on the Washington recaps - I've been having some trouble getting the pictures off of my camera, I think it might be on it's last leg. I thought I'd still pop in to share a quick, fresh, salad recipe that can help you start to week off right with a nutritious bang!
Say hello to Rainbow Carrot and Broccoli Flower Salad.
This morning I took a leisurely stroll through the local farmer's market looking for some fun, fresh veggies to incorporate into tomorrow's lunch. I decided on a nice bunch of Organic Rainbow Carrots and a beautiful bouquet of Chinese flowering broccoli.
Say hello to Rainbow Carrot and Broccoli Flower Salad.
This morning I took a leisurely stroll through the local farmer's market looking for some fun, fresh veggies to incorporate into tomorrow's lunch. I decided on a nice bunch of Organic Rainbow Carrots and a beautiful bouquet of Chinese flowering broccoli.
Once I got them hone, I rinsed off about 7 carrots (a few purple, two orange, and two yellow) and about half of the bunch of Chinese broccoli. Then it was time to get to work! I used a standard vegetable peeler to slice the carrots into tiny thin strips of colorful carrot confetti. Then I sliced the broccoli diagonally with a knife. Last, I assembled the salad with a mix of carrots and greens at the bottom and the beautiful yellow flowers on top as a garnish. Tomorrow at lunch I'll just add a little Italian dressing and have a fresh, tasty, carrot salad!
