MARINATED VEGETABLE SALAD
This cold veggie side dish is packed with so many different vegetables: broccoli, cauliflower, zucchini, baby corn, tomatoes, carrots, celery and onion. Let the veggies soak in a brine-like dressing for a flavourful dish that is a cross between a salad and a quick pickle. It goes wonderfully with a backyard barbecued meal.
