Marinated Vegetable Salad

This big-batch marinated vegetable salad recipe keeps for days in your refrigerator, making it very suitable to picnics. The recipe can easily be doubled or even tripled for very large gatherings.

This is a basic vinaigrette dressing recipe, quick and easy. It also works very well with store-bought vinaigrette dressings.

8 cups Your favourite vegetables:

broccoli, cauliflower, carrots, kohlrabi,
peppers (red/yellow/green/orange), red/green cabbage,
onions/chives, sugar snap/snow peas, cherry tomatoes ...

4 tbsp. canola or olive oil
6 tbsp. vinegar
1/4 tsp. dry mustard
2 cloves minced garlic
2 tsp. sugar
salt & pepper, to taste

Chop all the vegetables into bite-sized pieces and put into a large bowl (preferably one with a lid). Mix up the dressing in a jar or separate bowl and pour over the vegetables. Leave in the fridge to marinate until picnic time.
