ingredients

• 1 1⁄2 lbs broccoli
• 3⁄4 lb mushroom, thinly sliced
• 1 cup green onion, thinly sliced (including tops)
• 1 cup celery, thinly sliced
• 1⁄4 cup sugar
• 1⁄3 cup cider vinegar
• 1 teaspoon paprika
• 1 teaspoon celery seed
• 1 cup salad oil
• salt
• pepper

directions

1. Rinse broccoli. Cut off and discard base of stalks, leaving about 3 ½ inches of stalks below flowerets. Cut stalk and flowerets lengthwise into spears. Cut flowerets into bite-size pieces; peel stalks, then cut diagonally into ¼-inch-thick slices.
2. Steam broccoli: arrange spears or pieces on a rack. Steam until barely tender-crisp to bite (2 to 3 minutes). Immerse in cold water; when cold, drain well. In a large bowl, combine broccoli, mushrooms, onions, and celery.
3. Stir together sugar and vinegar until sugar is dissolved. Stir in paprika, celery seeds, and oil. Pour over vegetable mixture; toss to coat. Cover and refrigerate for 1 to 2 hours, stirring occasionally.
4. Season to taste with salt and pepper.
