Broccoli and Carrots with Lime Dressing

Bring about 2 inches of water to a rapid boil in a covered pot. When the water boils, add the vegetables, cover and simmer for about 5 minutes until tender but still firm. While the vegetables cook, mix together all of the remaining ingredients. Drain the vegetables, plunge them into cold water, drain again, and chill until ready to serve, or serve at room temperature. Just before serving, toss the vegetables with the dressing. You could also serve these vegetables over rice noodles tossed lightly with some Mirin, or with fried rice to make more of a meal of it!
