&gt; Put the zucchini into the same pan of hot water (but about 5 minutes after the pan was removed from the heat).
&gt; Drain the vegetables after another 5 minutes. The broccoli and the zucchini should still be crunchy. Leave them in a colander to drain thoroughly.
&gt; Wash and cut the red cabbage into 1-inch bits. Set aside.
Dressing &gt; Roast the flax seeds on a tava or griddle over low heat, till they are fragrant. Remove and set aside to cool.
&gt; Crush the garlic clove with the back of a spoon and separate the strands slightly.
