CHOPPED VEGETABLE SALAD

Steps:

• In the bowl of a food processor fitted with a steel blade, combine the mustard paste, salt pepper. Pulse the mixture together briefly. Then add the vinegar a little at a time.

At this point, the dressing can be refrigerated for up to 1 week. When ready to serve, stir in the chili sauce, watercress, and bacon to complete the classic "21" Lorenzo Dressing.
• Put the remaining salad ingredients in a large bowl and toss with the dressing.
