Steps

1. 1

   Start by slicing the cauliflower florets and radicchio using a food processor with a slicing disk or by hand with a mandoline for the cauliflower and a knife for the radicchio. Combine both vegetables in a spacious mixing bowl.

2. 2

   Using a peeler, remove the strings from the rounded side of the celery. Set aside the leaves in a bowl. Proceed to thinly slice the stalks using a knife and add them to the bowl along with chives and parsley. Grate the zest from a whole lemon directly into the bowl to capture any citrus oil present. Mix everything thoroughly. Extract juice from the lemon to prepare the dressing for the salad.

3. 3

   In a small bowl, combine 1 tablespoon of juice with Dijon mustard. Slowly whisk in the oil until well blended. Season the mixture with salt and pepper to taste.
