Ingredients:

Serving

1 tbsp soy sauce
1/3 cup cider vinegar
1 tsp chicken bouillon granules
1 1/2 tbsp chopped fresh tarragon or 1 1/2 tsp dried
1 tsp dried oregano
1 tbsp chopped fresh chives
1/2 cup safflower oil
1 cup vegetable oil
2 cups (1/3-inch cubes) firm white sandwich bread
2 bunches spinach (1 1/2 lb), stems discarded and leaves cut crosswise into 1/2-inch strips
1 1/2 lb red cabbage, finely shredded
1/2 medium jicama (3/4 lb), cut into very fine julienne
3 medium raw beets, peeled and cut into very fine julienne
1 medium red onion , halved lengthwise, very thinly sliced lengthwise, and soaked in cold water 20 minutes
1/2 cup chopped candied citron or candied pineapple (4 oz)
3/4 cup puffed amaranth seeds (optional)

Directions:

Make vinaigrette: Stir together soy sauce, vinegar, and chicken bouillon granules. Add herbs, then add oil in a slow stream, whisking constantly.
Make salad: Heat vegetable oil in a heavy skillet and fry bread cubes in 2 batches, stirring occasionally, until golden, about 2 minutes.
Combine vegetables, candied citron, and three fourths of croutons and amaranth seeds in a large bowl and toss well with vinaigrette. Sprinkle with remaining croutons and amaranth seeds.
Cooks' notes: We used a Japanese slicer, set at 1/16 inch, to shred the cabbage and slice the onion, j‭cama, and beets. We then cut the j‭cama and beet slices into julienne strips by hand. The vegetables and vinaigrette may be prepared 1 day ahead and chilled separately in plastic bags. The croutons are best made the day of the party.
