Cauliflower and Broccoli Salad With Ginger Vinaigrette

Preparation

1. Step 1

   Trim away and discard the core of the cauliflower. Break the cauliflower into flowerettes.

2. Step 2

   Cut the broccoli into flowerets. Peel the large stems and cut them into 1½-inch lengths. Rinse and drain.

3. Step 3

   In a saucepan large enough to hold the cauliflower and broccoli, bring enough water to a boil to cover the vegetables. Add salt. Add the cauliflower and simmer 6 minutes, then add the broccoli pieces. When the water returns to a boil, lower the heat and let simmer about 3 minutes.

4. Step 4

   Drain well. Let cool.

5. Step 5

   Put the mustard and vinegar in a bowl and whisk in the oil. Stir in the ginger and parsley or coriander. Add the cauliflower and broccoli, salt and pepper, toss and serve.
