FOR THE SALAD
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 ½-inch florets

FOR THE DRESSING
2 tablespoons Dijon-style mustard
⅓ cup peanut oil
1 tablespoon cider vinegar
½ teaspoon salt
½ teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
Preparation
- Step 1
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 ½ inch. Trim and wash the scallions, and cut into 2-inch sticks.
- Step 3
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.
