Fresh-from-the-Garden Vegetable Salad

A nice all-purpose summer salad. Just the right touch of Dijon and sugar in the dressing, which balance each other nicely. I'd cook the green beans a minute or two longer, as well as add the bell pepper for the last minute of boiling, but the carrots were perfect as-is.

Dressing is nice, but the carrots make it seems like cold cooked vegetables. I'd like this better with cucumbers, red bells, or cherry tomatoes. I added some fresh basil, lemon juice, garlic, black pepper, and minced scallions for a little more zip. So yes, has potential!

Good, but I would cut Dijon mustard next time...little strong

Yum,yum,yum!!! Even picky hubby eats! Last time, for variety, made diagonally sliced carrot coins. Should have cooked a minute or 2 longer--shot them across the table instead of spearing them onto my fork! OOPS! Served with beer can chicken, but would go with any roasted/grilled meat.
