Steps:
- 1. Place all vegetables in a large glass container with a lid.
- 2. Place sugar, oil, vinegar, salt and pepper in a saucepan. Heat and stir until sugar dissolves.
- 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.
- 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!

CALICO SALAD FOR TWO
MY HUSBAND suggested I share this salad recipe. It's one of his favorites, which I created long ago in a moment of panic. I'd opened the refrigerator to get out the makings for green salad and discovered I had only a couple lettuce leaves. The cottage cheese was a perfect substitute. -Pat Wasing, Houston, Texas

CALICO POTATO SALAD
One of the nice things about this salad is how versatile it is. I've taken it to a potluck...to a square dance gathering...and to the field for my husband and the men during haying season! As part of a lunch, it goes well with cold meat, like roast beef, chicken or ham, and buns. We raised Limousin cattle on the exact quarter section where Barry's dad raised Black Angus for years. We don't have children-but two active bearded collies liven up the place plenty.
