A quick and refreshing side dish made with broccoli and carrots tossed in a creamy mustard mayo dressing.
The richness of Japanese mayonnaise pairs perfectly with the gentle tang of grain mustard, making it a light yet flavorful addition to any meal.
Perfect as a quick veggie side when you need just one more dish on the table!

Will definitely make again.
I used fresh instead of frozen vegetables, and it turned out beautifully. Will definitely make this again.
