- Reviews 2
Ready In: 3 hrs 15 mins
Serves: 6
Ingredients
Dressing
- 3 tablespoons rice vinegar (seasoned or regular)
- 2 tablespoons peanut oil
- 1 garlic clove, minced
- 1 tablespoon fresh gingerroot, grated
- 1⁄2 teaspoon salt
- 1⁄4 teaspoon white pepper
Salad
- 3⁄4 lb romanesco, florets
- 3⁄4 lb cauliflower floret
- 2 carrots, peeled and sliced diagonally
- 1 red peppers (optional) or 1 -2 Thai peppers, seeded, minced (optional)
- 3 tablespoons fresh cilantro, chopped
Directions
- Prepare the dressing in a non-reactive bowl by whisking the ingredients together. Taste and adjust seasoning if necessary. Set aside.
- Lightly blanch the romanesco and cauliflower in a large pot of boiling water, only until the romanesco is brightly colored. Immediately plunge into cold water to stop the cooking process. Drain well.
- Transfer the blanched vegetables, carrots (and chilies if using) to a salad bowl and pour the salad dressing over them. Cover.
- Best if salad is prepared several hours in advance to allow the vegetables to marinate.
- *Important*: stir in the cilantro leaves just before serving.
