Yield 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 11

4 small zucchini (1 pound)
4 medium carrots (10 ounces)
4 stalks celery (6 ounces), as white as possible
5 or 6 scallions (5 ounces)
1 small head cauliflower (1 pound), washed and separated into 1 1/2-inch florets
6 large radishes, washed and cut into 1/4-inch slices
2 tablespoons Dijon-style mustard
1/3 cup peanut oil
1 tablespoon cider vinegar
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper

Steps:

  • To cook the vegetables, bring 4 cups of water to a boil in a saucepan.
  • Meanwhile, trim and wash the zucchini. Cut into 3-inch chunks, and then into 1-inch sticks. Peel the carrots and celery, and cut both into sticks 2 inches by 1/2 inch. Trim and wash the scallions, and cut into 2-inch sticks.
  • Put the carrots and celery into the boiling water and cook 2 minutes. Add the cauliflower and boil 5 minutes. Then add the zucchini and cook 1 minute. Stir in the scallions and radishes and cook 10 seconds longer. Drain, reserving the vegetable stock for soup.
  • To make the dressing, mix the ingredients for it in a bowl suitable for serving the salad. Add the hot vegetables and toss to coat with the dressing. Serve lukewarm or at room temperature, but not cold.
