directions

Place brussels sprouts and carrots in a large saucepan and add water to cover.
Bring to a boil and cook for 3 minutes.
Add cauliflower and broccoli and return to a boil.
Cook for 5 minutes or until vegetables are crisp-tender.
Rinse in cold water and drain.
In a large bowl, combine lemon juice, oil, parsley, garlic, lemon zest, thyme, basil, salt and pepper.
Add cooked vegetables and the tomatoes and toss to coat.
Cover and refrigerate for at least 8 hours.
Note: I like to combine vinaigrette ingredients and let them sit for a while for the flavors to develop before adding the veggies.
