The technology of cooking salad "Flower bed" from vegetables
Divide the cauliflower into buds, remove the leaves and petioles that are too long, and then rinse. Pour the washed cabbage with water acidified with vinegar and leave for a while. After 30-40 minutes have passed, dip the cabbage into prepared sweetened and salted boiling water, keep it on low heat for 15 minutes, carefully making sure that it is not overcooked. When the cabbage is ready, it must be removed from the boiling water with a slotted spoon and put on plates.
Wash the beans and remove coarse fibers, if any, cut into strips, and then boil in the same water where the cauliflower was cooked.
Wash the leeks, cut into large slices and boil until half cooked in the same water.
Wash the celery and cut into strips, boil in the same broth.
Put the vegetables around the cauliflower on plates, garnish with tomato slices, leeks, lemon slices, serve lemon juice separately.
