Broccoli Salad with Honey-Glazed Walnuts

Ingredients

• 250 gram broccoli - بروكلى
• 250 gram carrots - جزر
• 250 gram green beans - فاصوليا خضراء
• 1/2 cup red cabbage (thinly sliced) - كرنب أحمر
• 1/2 cup walnut - عين جمل / جوز
• 1 drizzle honey (about 1.5 tablespoon) - عسل
• DRESSING:
• 4 tablespoon olive oil - زيت زيتون
• 1 tablespoon vinegar - خل
• 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard - مسطردة ديجون
• 1 teaspoon honey - عسل
• black pepper (to taste) - فلفل أسود
• sea salt (to taste) - ملح البحر

Step by step

1. Start by preparing your washed veggies. Cut the broccoli into small florets, slice the peeled carrots into sticks, and trim the green beans then cut in halves.
2. Prepare a big pot of boiling water on the stove and a bowl with ice cold water on the side.
3. Carefully drop the veggies in the boiling water. Leave to cook for 2 minutes, (or more if you prefer), then drain, rinse with fresh water and place in the ice bowl. (You can also cook each veggie on its own if you prefer to have one cooked longer than the other.)
4. Drain and dry the veggies on a clean kitchen towel to avoid having a wet salad.
5. Heat a small pan and add walnuts. Shake the pan to roast the walnuts for a minute then add a drizzle of honey on the walnuts. Keep stirring using a wooden spoon until all walnuts are nicely coated and toasted. This will not take more than another minute. Transfer walnuts to a plate covered with parchment paper to cool.
6. Add all dressing ingredients in a small jar, close it firmly and shake to mix.
7. Transfer cooked and dry veggies to a bowl. Add thinly sliced red cabbage. Pour dressing over the salad and mix gently. Taste to adjust salt and pepper if needed, then scatter the honey-glazed walnuts on top. Serve at room temperature.
