INSTRUCTIONS
* available in Asian markets or natural foods stores, or use white vinegar
A vinegar made from umeboshi plums lends the vegetables a rosy hue, that
contrasts with green lettuce leaves.
In a medium bowl, toss together the radishes, cucumber, carrot and salt.
Let sit at room temperature 2 hours.
Press vegetables gently in a colander, to drain off liquid. Return
vegetables to bowl.
In a saucepan, bring the vinegar and water to a boil. Cool, then pour over
vegetables. Cover bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate 24 hours.
To serve, arrange chilled pickled vegetables on lettuce leaves.
