Ingredients

Quantity Ingredient

½ teaspoon Chopped fresh dill or
¼ teaspoon Dillweed
3 tablespoons Water
2 Leeks
1 teaspoon Olive oil
1 teaspoon Cider vinegar

1. Peel carrots and cut into ¼-thick strips, about 2 inches long. In medium size microwave-safe bowl, combine carrots and dill. Add water, cover with lid or vented plastic wrap, and microwave on high (100 percent) 3 minutes.

3. Add leeks, oil, vinegar, and pepper to carrot mixture; stir to combine. Cover and microwave on high (100 percent) 3 minutes. Let stand, covered, 1 minute. Serve immediately or refrigerate and serve chilled.
