A very tasty salad prepared by cooking “no cooking” that makes the tasty vegetables, crispy, a real character and not a monotonous food, sometimes soft and tasteless, which suggests a “restrictive diet”.
This method is widely used by the raw food kitchen (not fundamentalist). The vegetables are washed and cut into slices, chunks or browsed ⇒ immersed for a few seconds or a few minutes in boiling water ⇒ and immediately cooled with very cold water.
The procedure the only softens slightly preserving its natural crunchiness,
befits many vegetables such as asparagus, broccoli florets of all kinds, brussels sprouts, cabbage romanesco florets, green beans, peas, white part of the leek.
The protagonist of this recipe is the cabbage purple broccoli, a recent variety that has an amazing taste, its flowery tufts have a distinct taste of broccoli stalks while its delicate taste reminiscent of asparagus, is so good that I consider a salt optional ingredient.
