Servings: persons

1 lb cauliflower
3/4 lb small red potato
1 large crisp apple (1/2 lb. or so)
8 small radishes (about 6 ounces)
1 cup red onion, 1/4-inch dice
8 ounces imported italian asiago cheese, rind removed, cut in 1/4-inch cubes
1/2 cup toasted coarsely chopped walnuts
1 teaspoon kosher salt
1/4 cup extra-virgin olive oil
3 tablespoons cider vinegar
1 tablespoon chopped fresh Italian parsley

1
Fill a pot or saucepan with 3 quarts water, and heat it to boiling.
2
Tear off any tough leaves at the base of the cauliflower and cut out the core; break or cut the large branches in to small florets, drop them into the boiling water, and cook until tender, about 5 minutes.
3
Lift from water, and drain well in a colander; when cool, put the florets in a large bowl.
4
As soon as the cauliflower is out of the pot, return the water to a boil and drop in the potatoes; cook them at a gentle boil just until a knife blade pierces the center easily--don't let them get mushy.
5
Drain and briefly cool the potatoes; peel them while still warm, cut into 1/4-inch dice, and put them in the serving bowl with the cauliflower.
6
Peel and core the apples; cut into 1/4-inch dice, and add to the salad bowl.
7
Trim the radishes, quarter them in wedges, and drop into the bowl along with the diced onion, cubes of Asiago, and toasted walnuts.
8
Sprinkle the salt over the salad pieces and toss; drizzle the olive oil and vinegar over the salad and toss; sprinkle on the parsley and toss once more, and serve.
