Ingredients
Vegetables
- 1 heaping cup chopped broccoli florets
- 1 heaping cup chopped cauliflower florets
- 1 diced bell pepper
- 1 cup halved cherry tomatoes
- 1 cup chopped baby corn
- 1 cup diced carrot
- 1/2 cup sliced celery
Marinade/Dressing
- 1/2 cup olive oil
- 1/4 cup white wine vinegar
- 1/4 cup red wine vinegar
- 3 tablespoons honey
- Juice from 1/2 lemon
- 1 clove garlic, crushed
- 1 heaping tablespoon Greek herb mix (with salt)
- 1 tablespoon jarred capers
Instructions
- Prepare the Vegetables: Chop the broccoli, cauliflower, bell pepper, cherry tomatoes, baby corn, carrot, and celery as directed. Add all the vegetables into a large bowl or a Quick Marinator container.
- Make the Marinade: In a jar, combine olive oil, white wine vinegar, red wine vinegar, honey, lemon juice, crushed garlic, Greek herb mix, and capers. Close the lid tightly and shake vigorously until everything is well emulsified. Alternatively, use an immersion blender for a smoother consistency.
- Marinate the Salad: Pour the prepared dressing over the vegetables. If using a Quick Marinator, close the lid tightly and shake to evenly coat all the vegetables. If using a regular bowl, toss well to combine.
- Chill and Marinate: Place the marinating vegetables in the fridge for at least 1 hour to let the flavors meld. Toss or shake once midway through marinating to ensure the dressing is evenly distributed.
- (Optional) Use a FoodSaver Quick Marinator: Follow the specific instructions for your FoodSaver model to vacuum-seal and marinate the salad more efficiently. Once marinating is done, release the vacuum and open the container.
- Serve: Stir or toss the salad once more before serving. Transfer to a serving dish and serve chilled, or store in the fridge until ready to enjoy.
Notes
- The salad tastes even better if allowed to marinate overnight.
- Feel free to add other crisp veggies like snap peas or radishes for extra crunch.
- To keep the salad vegan, substitute maple syrup or agave for honey.
- For best results, use fresh, high-quality produce.
