A pretty salad...a few ingredients but is very good. It is one of those salads you can add something else if you dont like one of the ingredients. You might even want to try adding chopped jalapenos. I personally do not care for peas and leave them out so add what you personally like. The dressing "marinade" is what makes this salad as well as the shredded cheese. Enjoy!

Ingredients

  • 1 - head of cauliflower, cleaned and cut up into small pieces
  • 1 - head of broccoli, cleaned and cup up into small pieces
  • 2 7oz cans pitted sliced black olives (you can use green if you wish)
  • 1 8oz cans of mushrooms. i use freshly chopped ones...about 3
  • 1 10 oz boxes frozen peas, uncooked
  • 1 small onion grated (i chop mine up in the food processor)
  • 1 cup mozzarella cheese, shredded
  • - now the dressing ingredients
  • 1 tablespoon garlic powder ( i chop one garlic clove up when i am chopping up the onions in the food processor instead of using the powder)
  • 2 teaspoons salt
  • 1 teaspoon pepper
  • 1/2 teaspoon each of dry mustard, sweet basil, oregano and paprika
  • 1 cup apple cider vinegar or red wine vinegar or vinegar of your choice.
  • 1 1/2 cups vegetable oil
  • 1 tablespoon honey

How To Make vegetable salad

  • Step 1
    Combine vegetables and cheese together and set aside while you are putting together the dressing ingredients.
  • Step 2
    Combine the dressing ingredients and add them to the vegetables. Marinate for 6 to 8 hours.
  • Step 3
    If you prefer, like I do, I steam the cut up broccoli and cauliflower with a little water in a covered dish in the microwave for about 30 seconds to a minute. That way they are still crisp but not so hard tasting. Make sure they are cooled down though before you add the cheese :)
