EXPERT TIPS

Expert Tips

Cooking the vegetables for one minute in boiling water and then rinsing them in cold water brings out their color yet maintains their crisp-tender texture.

Prepare this salad one day ahead. Cover and refrigerate it until serving time. Just before serving, stir the salad. Add 1 to 2 tablespoons of peppercorn ranch dressing if the salad seems dry.

I actually did not like this. It may have been the brand of peppercorn I used, but after only a day it had a heavy vinegar flavor to it.
