Our answer

Nigella's Crunchy Salad With Hot And Sour Dressing (from NIGELLA EXPRESS) has a mixture of raw and lightly cooked vegetables. The beans and broccoli are blanched (cooked in boiling water very briefly) so that they are not completely raw but are not completely cooked and have a tender-crisp texture.

The salad ingredients will also soften slightly in the dressing as the salad stands, but will still retain some bite and crunch. This makes it an ideal salad to make in advance.
