Simple 1-2-3 Marinated Vegetable Salad image

This is a simple and delicious change from cucumbers in vinegar and makes a great vegetarian snack or side dish. It's also great in that it requires no cooking at all! I make this all Summer long and have some whenever I get the 'munchies'. A friend used to serve this to me when I lived in Arkansas and I've never forgotten how to make it.

Time 20m

Yield 10 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 8

1/2 cup white vinegar
1/2 cup canola oil or 1/2 cup vegetable oil
1/2 cup sugar
1 teaspoon salt
1 onion, roughly chopped
2 green peppers, seeded and chopped into small cubes
3 cucumbers, peeled and cut into small cubes
4 tomatoes, cut into small cubes

Steps:

  • Make the dressing by combining all the dressing ingredients in a small bowl.
  • Whisk until the sugar is dissolved.
  • Set aside.
  • To make the salad: Place all the chopped vegetables in a large bowl with a lid and pour the dressing over all.
  • Use a wooden or plastic spoon to gently stir so that the dressing coats all the vegies and everything is well mixed.
  • Cover and chill at least six hours before serving, stirring at least every hour.
  • When ready to serve, let salad stand at room temperature for 5 minutes.
  • This is easiest to eat when served in a bowl and eaten with a spoon.
  • Be sure to get plenty of the juices into each bowl.
