Vegetables for Salads
Most vegetables can be used raw in salads, as long as they are sliced thinly or broken or cut into small pieces. If you'd like, you could blanch the vegetables before adding to the salad. Drop the prepared vegetables into boiling water for 30–40 seconds, then immediately plunge into ice water to stop the cooking.
