Julienne Vegetable Slaw
This fresh, crispy salad will work well with any seasonal vegetables. If you don’t like your vegetables too crisp, you can blanch them all for a couple of minutes before adding the vinaigrette and then refrigerate them.

Instructions
- In a small bowl, whisk together vinaigrette ingredients and season to taste with salt and pepper. Add 2 cups (500 mL) water to a small saucepan, boil water and blanch yellow beans for one minute (or all veggies if you prefer). Remove and cool in cold water.
