Vinegared Mixed Veggies
Having a party or just a few friends in, then try this lively fresh vegetable pickle. Makes a nice change from the usual crudités.
1/2 head of cauliflower, cut into small florets
2 carrots, cut into matchsticks or thinly sliced
2 zucchini, cut into matchsticks or thinly sliced
2 small red onions cut into crescents
2 teaspoons of salt
1/2 cup wine vinegar
3 teaspoons extra-virgin olive oil (optional)
Put the veggies in a large bowl and sprinkle with the salt. Stir and let it sit for and hour. After the hour is up, stir in the vinegar and mix well. Let it rest for another hour. Drain well in a colander. Return to bowl and drizzle with the olive oil. Toss gently and serve. This can be served chilled which is my preference, or at room temperature.
