Preparation

• For the salad, keep a bowl of ice cold water ready.
  Bring a large pot of water to a boil and add 1 tsp salt. Boil each vegetable individually since each has a different cooking point.
  
  Cook just enough so that each veggie retains some crunch. Immediately plunge into the cold water.
  
  Remove from the cold water and drain. Place the veggies on a towel to remove excess water.
• For the dressing, put all the ingredients together in a food processor or a grinder. Blend well and adjust the seasoning and flavours.
  
  Pour the dressing over the veggies and serve.
