A veggie side dish that your dinner guests will love? And you can make the whole thing in just a few minutes? Yes, really! With vegetables, we often fall victim to overcooking, which means our broccoli, carrots, and asparagus turn out bland and mushy. Stop the madness. Starting today, no more boiling or even traditional steaming. Instead, use your <a href="https://www.chefsteps.com/guides-tools/making-the-most-of-your-microwave">microwave</a> to quickly cook these delicious spring vegetables in about a minute, leaving them slightly crisp and full of the amazing flavor and nutrients many traditional cooking methods can strip away.We whipped up this quick and delicious side dish using spring carrots, Greek yogurt, chaat masala, fresh-squeezed lime, cilantro, mint, and a drizzle of olive oil. Try this dish or season your fresh veggies your way.
