The salad saga continues

So the end of summer is approaching and I've been a bit lazy with my food blogging. Its just been too hot to cook. I've been doing a lot of boring salads. Lettuce. Tomato. Cucumbers. Blech

But I decided to do a marinated vegetable salad last week. if I look at another lettuce leaf I'll scream. So I found this recipe and I decided it was worth giving a try. What I like about it is you are only limited by your imagination. I took about a cup of each. Zuccini, radishes, carrots, cauliflower,and cherry tomatoes. I made this simple dressing and let it marinate for a day or two. It was awesome

The marinade

3/4 cup olive oil

1/4 cup white vinegar

2 heaping tbs dion mustard

A few cloves of minced garlic

A tbs each of salt sugar and black pepper.

I combined everything and poured it over the veggies and tossed it until everything was well coated. This is great as a side dish to go along with anything. And even better to make ahead of time. Hope you're inspired to get your veg on.

Rock on peeps

Maybe if I feel
