Steam the vegetables, making sure they remain firm and slightly crisp. This ensures the salad retains a fresh, vibrant texture. Once steamed, allow the vegetables to cool slightly.
-
Cut the steamed vegetables into large, bite-sized cubes. Then, dice the salami and add it to the mix.
-
Season the vegetables and salami with a pinch of salt to taste.
-
Now, it’s time to prepare the homemade mayonnaise. Using an electric mixer (or a whisk and some elbow grease), combine the egg with lemon juice in a mixing bowl. Whisk vigorously until the mixture begins to emulsify.
-
Slowly pour in the vegetable oil in a thin stream while continuing to whisk. This process is key to achieving the perfect mayonnaise consistency.
-
Once your mayonnaise is thick and smooth, add a teaspoon of mustard to enhance the flavor.
-
Combine the seasoned vegetables and salami with the freshly made mayonnaise. Gently toss the ingredients to coat them evenly.
