Blanched Salad

Ingredients

  • 2 quarts water
  • 2 cups Cauliflower, broken into pieces
  • 2 cups Broccoli, cut into 1 inch pieces
  • 2 Carrots, cut in chunks
  • 1 cup Butternut Squash, diced in 1 inch pieces
  • Lotus root, thinly sliced
  • 2 cups Cabbage, torn in large pieces

Sauce Ingredients

  • 1 tbs. Umeboshi Paste
  • cup warm water
  • 1 tbs. Toasted sesame oil, heated in small pot

Preparation

Bring water to a boil in large pot. Add Broccoli and cook until water returns to a boil. Remove with slotted spoon. Continue this procedure with each vegetable, cooking Squash last because it will discolor the water. When cool, combine ingredients in a bowl and add sauce (see below) and toss.
