DILL-DRESSED VEGETABLES

Serves
10 - 12Preparation
15 mins plus 30 mins resting timeIngredients
a selection of fresh vegetables, cut into bite-sized pieces, blanched where needed (about 1kg in total) | |
2 tablespoons salt | |
2 tablespoons vinegar | |
4 tablespoons lemon juice | |
½ cup fresh dill, chopped |
Instead of plain crudité on your platter, the idea here is that your vegetables are already dressed with a tasty, slightly pickley lemon-and-dill dressing that enhances their flavour. I prefer some vegetables blanched quickly before dressing – cauliflower and beans benefit from a quick plunge in boiling water and a refresh under cold water. Good vegetables for your platter are cucumber, carrots, radish, cauliflower and beans.
Instructions
1. | Put the vegetables in a clean sink and sprinkle with the salt, tossing around a little with your hands to coat. |
2. | Leave for 15 minutes, then rinse well and drain in a colander. |
3. | Place in a dish and add the vinegar, lemon juice and dill and toss well. |
4. | Leave for at least 30 minutes before serving. |
