I made this for my family reunion last summer. I doubled the recipe, and within 30 minutes, it was gone. Everyone loved it. This recipe is always a crowd pleasure.

How To Make marinated calico salad

Step 1

Place all vegetables in a large glass container with a lid.

Step 2

Place sugar, oil, vinegar, salt and pepper in a saucepan. Heat and stir until sugar dissolves.
Step 3

Pour over vegetables, and gently stir. Refrigerate overnight. When ready to serve, stir again, then transfer to a bowl, using a slotted spoon to do so, as the marinate tends to make more juice overnight.
Step 4

Note: you may add 1 finely chopped zucchini in place of the peas if you like, or in addition to them. Make it your call!
