Number Of Ingredients 20

1/4 cup freshly squeezed lemon juice
1 tablespoon kosher salt
1 pound broccoli rabe, trimmed
1 cup small cauliflower florets
8 ounces button mushrooms (cut in half if too large)
1 cup half-moon-sliced zucchini
1 cup half-moon-sliced yellow squash
1/2 cup roasted red pepper strips
1/2 cup marinated, quartered artichoke hearts
1/2 cup oil-cured black olives, pitted
1/4 cup red wine vinegar
2 tablespoons freshly squeezed lemon juice
1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
2 teaspoons kosher salt
1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
1 clove garlic, chopped
1/3 cup extra-virgin olive oil
1/2 cup canola oil
1 tablespoon thinly-sliced fresh basil leaves, plus whole leaves for garnish
1 lemon, cut into wedges, for garnish

Steps:

Make the Vegetables: Fill the stock pot with water and bring to a boil. Stir in the lemon juice and salt. Fill the pasta basket with the broccoli rabe, cauliflower, mushrooms, zucchini, and squash. Submerge in the boiling water and cook, covered for 2 minutes. Remove the basket and refresh the vegetables under cold running water.
Transfer the vegetables to a bowl and mix with the pepper strips, artichokes, and olives.
In a blender, combine the vinegar, lemon juice, mustard, salt, and pepper. Mix on medium until completely blended. While the motor is running, slowly pour in the oils in a steady stream to make a smooth dressing.
Pour the dressing over vegetables. Add the basil and toss well. Chill for at least 2 hours before serving. Arrange on a decorative platter garnished with fresh basil and lemon wedges.
