CONFETTI SALAD
I received this recipe from my mom's friend, Paula. I bring it to a lot of pot lucks, and I always get requests for the recipe. Cucumber should be European kind. You can use yellow pepper instead of orange, and other beans instead of the cannellini. Cooking time=min marinating time I use fresh dill. Seasoned salt is to taste - there was no measurement in the recipe, so I guessed 1tsp. Also, when I first tried this salad, I believe it had white wine or rice wine vinegar - the taste was subtle, not as strong as cider vinegar. DO NOT use olive oil.

Steps:
- For the salad: Quarter and core the cabbage. Set up a food processor with the slicing blade. Slice the cabbage and then transfer it to a colander. Switch to the grating blade and shred the carrots; add to cabbage. Toss the cabbage and carrots with the salt and set colander in the sink until the vegetables wilt, 1 to 4 hours. Rinse cabbage mixture thoroughly in cold water and spin it dry in a salad spinner.
- Meanwhile, make the dressing: Whisk the vinegar with the honey, mustard, celery seeds, salt, and black pepper to taste in a small bowl. Gradually whisk in the olive oil, starting with a few drops and then adding the rest in a steady stream to make a smooth, slightly thick dressing.
- Quarter, core, and shred the apples. Toss the cabbage mixture with the apples, scallions, and about 1¿2 cup of the dressing. Refrigerate until chilled and the flavors come together, about 1 hour. When ready to serve, toss the watercress with the remaining dressing. Make a ring on a platter with the watercress, and mound the coleslaw in the middle of the ring.

ROMAINE SALAD WITH COUSCOUS CONFETTI
You can use regular couscous or Israeli couscous for this lemony, confetti-like mixture of couscous, mixed diced peppers and mint. I categorize this salad as a salad with grains rather than a grain salad (I know, couscous isn't a grain, but it plays a grainy role here), as there's more lettuce than couscous.

JICAMA CONFETTI SALAD
This lovely salad is a crunchy and refreshing blend of jicama and colorful fresh vegetables that will light up a simple dinner. Jicama is a crunchy, slightly juicy vegetable that tastes like a cross between an apple and a raw potato. It is native to Mexico, and it is also prominent in Asian cuisine.

- Chop Uniformly: For a cohesive look and even cooking, aim for uniform chopping of the vegetables. This will ensure that all the ingredients cook evenly and blend seamlessly in the salad.
- Don't Overcook: To maintain the freshness and crispness of the vegetables, avoid overcooking them. Cook them just until they reach a tender-crisp texture, retaining their vibrant colors and nutrients.
- Use Fresh Herbs: Fresh herbs like cilantro, parsley, and mint add a burst of flavor and aroma to the salad. Incorporate them towards the end of the cooking process to preserve their delicate flavors.
- Balance the Dressing: The dressing is a crucial element in bringing all the flavors together. Achieve a balanced dressing by combining tangy lime juice, savory soy sauce, and sweet honey. Adjust the proportions to suit your taste preferences.
- Chill Before Serving: For the best flavor and texture, chill the salad for at least 30 minutes before serving. This allows the flavors to meld and enhances the crispness of the vegetables.
Conclusion:

With its medley of colorful vegetables, tangy dressing, and fresh herbs, it brings a fiesta of flavors to any occasion.
