Ingredients

  • 1 cauliflower, florets separated
  • 3 Persian cucumbers, cut into thin slices
  • Assorted radishes, some very thinly sliced, some quartered
  • 1 head celery, cut into thin sticks
  • 1 pound assorted multicolored carrots, peeled and thinly sliced in lengths
  • 4 Baby Gem lettuces, quartered
  • 1 pound cherry tomatoes
  • 1 pound asparagus, stems trimmed
  • ½ pound snap peas, ends trimmed, sliced on a bias
  • ½ pound green beans, steamed to just barely cooked
  • 1 large zucchini, peeled into strips, each strip rolled up to form a cylinder
  • 2 yellow/baby squash, peeled into strips, each strip rolled up to form a cylinder

Vinaigrette

  • 1 tablespoon nut mustard, or Dijon mustard
  • ¼ cup olive oil
  • Zest and juice of 1 lemon
  • 1 tablespoon pear champagne vinegar, or white wine vinegar
  • 1 pinch coarse sea salt
  • 6 grinds black pepper

Instructions

  1. Arrange the vegetables in an attractive pattern on a large platter or tray. I usually start with the largest vegetables first and form a diagonal line across the platter, tucking in the other vegetables around the central line and working out towards the edge of the plate. Serve with the mustard vinaigrette.

For the Vinaigrette

  1. In a small bowl, whisk together the vinaigrette ingredients to form a smooth emulsion.
