Directions

1. First, make the dressing: in a large bowl, combine all ingredients for the dressing and whisk to combine. Adjust seasoning and set aside.
2. Add vegetable, herbs and seasoning and toss to combine. Serve immediately or refrigerate for at least an hour to let the flavors combine. Some dressing will settle on the bottom, so stir well before serving.
