Marinated, Mixed Vegetables image

This is one of my favorite summer side-dishes. Though it's great any time of the year, it's particularly good when fresh, locally-grown produce is available. The marinade, an improvisation from some forty years ago, has withstood the test of time to become my signature salad dressing/marinade. Try it with your favorite salad ingredients or as a marinade for seafood.
