Ingredients
  

Vegetable Salad
  • 2 cups broccoli florets cut into bite-size pieces
  • 1 cup cauliflower cut into bite-size pieces
  • ½ large red bell pepper cubed
  • ½ large yellow bell pepper cubed
  • ½ large green bell pepper cubed
  • 1 medium brown or red onion half circles
  • 1 medium carrot thick half circles
  • 1-2 small cucumbers half circles
Marinade Dressing
  • 2 tablespoon red wine vinegar
  • 1 tablespoon white wine vinegar
  • ½ teaspoon dried oregano
  • ½ teaspoon dried thyme
  • 3 teaspoon granulated sugar
  • 2 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon lemon juice
  • salt and pepper to taste

Method
 

  1. In a large bowl, mix all the marinade dressing ingredients. Set aside.
  2. Blanch the broccoli and cauliflower. Take a medium saucepan/pot and fill with water, enough to cover the broccoli and cauliflower later. Add salt and take it to a boil. Reduce the heat and lower the veggies into the water. Cook on medium heat for 3 minutes, remove the vegetables with kitchen tongs and place them into ice-cold water. Once cooled drain and pat dry with a towel.
  3. Add all the vegetables into the bowl with the marinade and stir to combine until all the veggies are covered in the vegetable marinade.
  4. Transfer to the fridge for 2-3 hours.
  5. Garnish with fresh parsley when serving.
