Does this look familiar? It should, it's a reprise of Day 115.Peering deep into the dark recesses of the frig, I wondered if it might be a good way to use up a few things and deliver lunch ta-boot.
Sure enough, the technique that worked so well just two days ago with tomatoes and zucchini also worked great with a broccoli crown, a yellow pepper and a couple of stalks of celery. I did miss the tomato's texture contrast and juiciness.
Add this basic idea to A Veggie Venture's For Instance Techniques with vegetables. The magic tricks seem to be:
- the brightness from fresh basil
- the bite of fresh onion (a red onion would work well too, I think)
- the tiny bit of cheese for texture contrast (though it would be a no-point salad if omitted)
- a good spray of pepper
