Pressure cooking vegetables in an Instant Pot is a quick easy way to get perfect results with very little time or effort. Adding in the additional ingredients in this recipe results in a lovely side dish that is fit for a holiday gathering or special occasion.
This Instant Pot vegetable medley includes asparagus, broccoli and green beans. Other vegetables of your choosing can be substituted, as long as their cooking time is approximately the same.
The other advantage of this recipe is that it can be served right away, or chilled 24 hours in advance and served as a cold salad.
The fresh mint, oregano and feta cheese bring in layers of flavor to complement the crispy vegetables, but the star of the dish is the fresh made lemon garlic vinaigrette. It is very easy to make, and can also be made in advance and stored in the refrigerator.

Vegetable Medley in a Lemon Garlic Vinaigrette tossed with Feta Cheese, Oregano and Fresh Mint. The dish can be served hot or cold depending on your preference. Place 1 cup (236ml) of water in the bottom of the instant pot. Add the washed and cut vegetables into a steamer basket on top of the trivet. * Seal the lid on the Instant Pot and and set the venting knob to "Sealing". Set the Instant Pot to "Manual" (High) and the time to "0". Once the cooking has stopped (approximately 10 minutes) immediately vent the Instant Pot. If serving the vegetables hot, toss with the oregano, feta, fresh mint and vinaigrette dressing. If serving the vegetable medley cold, run the vegetables under cold water or place in an ice bath to stop the cooking process. Drain the vegetables and place in a covered bowl in the refrigerator until ready to serve. Toss with the remaining ingredients just prior to serving. *Alternative vegetables can be substituted as long as they have similar cooking times. Fresh Peas, Cauliflower and Sweet Pea Pods are good examples of vegetables that will work. **The vegetables can also be cooked in a steamer basket if you do not have an Instant Pot or Pressure Cooker. Simply add the vegetables to a steamer basket in a pot of boiling water and cover. Cook for about 5 minutes and check for doneness by inserting a sharp knife or fork into the skin of the vegetables. Once the knife pierces the skin easily, they are done.
