STRAW AND HAY VEGETABLE SALAD
Steps:
- In a small saucepan cook 6 garlic cloves, peeled, in boiling water to cover for 15 minutes, or until they are soft, and drain them. In a food processor fitted with the steel blade or in a blender blend the garlic cloves with 1 large egg yolk and 4 teaspoons lemon juice. With the motor running add 1/2 cup each of olive oil and vegetable oil in a stream. Blend in 1/4 cup lukewarm water, add lemon juice, cayenne, salt, and pepper to taste, and transfer the dressing to a serving bowl.Halve crosswise 1 seedless cucumber and with a vegetable peeler cut it lengthwise into very thin slices. Cut the slices lengthwise into 1/8-inch-wide strands and transfer the strands to a salad bowl. With the vegetable peeler cut 3/4 pound daikon (Oriental white radish, available at Oriental markets) lengthwise into very thin slices. Cut the slices lengthwise into 1/8-inch-wide strands and transfer the strands to the salad bowl. Toss the vegetable strands with 3 tablespoons shredded pickled ginger (available at Oriental markets), drizzle some of the dressing over the salad, and serve the remaining dressing separately. Serves 4.
