Recipe Note
- Before cooking the vegetables, fill a large bowl halfway full of ice and add water so you have an ice bath ready to go. Using an ice bath stops the cooking process and keeps the color of the vegetables vibrant.
- If you don’t have the NuWave Twister, you can whisk the vinaigrette dressing together in a small bowl until incorporated.
