Ingredients

  • 1 1/2 (stalk) celery, cut diagonally into 1/4-inch thick slices (about 1 cup)
  • 1 (whole) yellow squash, cut into 1/4-inch thick half-moons (about 1 cup)
  • 1/2 (head) broccoli, trimmed into florets (about 1 1/2 cups)
  • 2 (medium) carrots, peeled and roll-cut into 1-inch pieces (about 1 cup)
  • 1 (tablespoon) rice vinegar
  • 2 (tablespoon) sweet plum jam
  • 3 (stalk) green onions, thinly sliced diagonally

Directions

  1. Vegetables: Bring a large saucepan of lightly salted water to a boil over high heat. Working with 1 vegetable at a time, cook the vegetables in the order listed until their colors brighten and they are just tender, about 2 minutes for each vegetable. After each vegetable is cooked, immediately submerge it in a large bowl of ice water to stop it from cooking, then drain it well and pat dry with a clean kitchen towel.
  2. Dressing: Whisk plum jam and rice vinegar in a small bowl to blend. Stir in green onions. Add water to dilute, if needed.
  3. Assembly: Gently toss the vegetables in a large bowl with enough of the dressing to coat.
  4. Optional: Garnish with sesame seeds.

    Radishes? What radishes?

    We modified this by just boiling (not blanching) the veggies and serving it hot, over some quinoa or brown rice. It was great!

    @Laurel- I apologize I didn't see your comment until now, but I looks like you spotted a typo. I have deleted the sentence referencing radishes in the directions since there are none listed in the ingredient list. However, you could certainly add radishes to this dish if you wanted. Simply thinly slice or quarter the radishes and add them raw to the cooked veggies when tossing in the plum dressing.

    I'm not too impressed. The flavor of the dressing didn't complement the taste of the veggies.
