Steamed Vegetable Salad With Macadamia Dressing Recipe

Ingredients

3 tablespoons fresh citrus juice (any combination of lime, lemon, and orange)

1 teaspoon raw apple-cider vinegar

1/2 teaspoon honey

2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil

1 1/2 tablespoons chopped fresh dill, plus sprigs for garnish

1 1/2 tablespoons chopped fresh flat-leaf parsley, plus leaves for garnish

4 fresh basil leaves, sliced, plus leaves for garnish

1/4 cup raw macadamia nuts, toasted and finely chopped

Coarse salt

1/2 large fennel bulb, cored and cut into 1/2-inch slices

1/2 pound asparagus, trimmed

1/4 pound green beans, trimmed

1/2 pound small carrots, scrubbed

Coarse salt

Whisk dressing ingredients in a bowl and season with salt.

Working in batches, steam vegetables until crisp-tender, 2 to 4 minutes. Halve steamed asparagus spears and carrots lengthwise.

Arrange vegetables on a platter before seasoning with salt, drizzling with dressing, and garnishing with herbs.
