Cooking Recipe Pickled Vegetable Appetizer
Recipe Ingredients
Directions
* available in Asian markets or natural foods stores, or use white
vinegar
A vinegar made from umeboshi plums lends the vegetables a rosy hue,
that contrasts with green lettuce leaves.
In a medium bowl, toss together the radishes, cucumber, carrot and
salt. Let sit at room temperature
2 hours.
Press vegetables gently in a colander, to drain off liquid. Return
vegetables to bowl.
In a saucepan, bring the vinegar and water to a boil. Cool, then pour
over vegetables. Cover bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate 24
hours.
To serve, arrange chilled pickled vegetables on lettuce leaves.
