This recipe was one of the easiest ways to get vegetables into my kids while growing up, and they still love it as adults. It's so easy to assemble; what I like best is the ability to pick and choose veggies you like and the salad size. Just modify the Italian dressing accordingly. Another great recipe from Gerry 999!

Gerry, I made your marinated veggies for my luncheon and they were a PERFECT addition to my buffet! I made them the day before and stored in Ziplock bags in the fridge (loved that it didn't take much room!). They looked so crisp and the colors stayed bright. I really liked that it was a "compact" form of a salad that you didn't have to worry about it wilting. Next time I will make to have on hand for a week's worth of easy salads for my family. Thanks Gerry! Roxygirl

This salad is so wonderful! The only changes I made were to add sugar snap peas (just love those) and used Ken's italian dressing instead of Kraft's. I plan to make this once a week and just have it in the fridge for lunch alone or on a hot night with a grilled chicken breast. The possibilities are endless.....it's delicious and all those veggies...how could you go wrong?? Thanks for the share!

Super salad! Very delicious and so beautiful! I subbed some fennel for some of the celery...only because I don't care for much celery. This can easily be made to accommodate a wide range of tastes by just adding in whatever veggies you like! Thanks so much, Gerry for another great recipe! :) Made for ZWT4 Zingo for the CAFE ZMAKK Gypsies!!! Go, Gypsies!!

<p>I live in Saskatchewan where hospitality and food go hand in hand. Community suppers, Beef Pit Barbecues, Church suppers, potlucks, tea and bake sales, booths at the curling and hockey rinks in winter, the ball games in summer. What is truly the spirit of Saskatchewan is that these events are for most part the efforts of community volunteers sharing their time as well as their best make and takes. Small communities along with the larger centres across the province are well known for their turkey suppers, cabbage rolls, perogies and overflowing dessert tables. Homemade of course! <br /> <br />I love preparing meals for my family and friends and in the sharing of good recipes be they mine or that of another. My posted recipes are recipes that are family favorites. My reviews here on Zaar allow that I have been most fortunate in the choosing of the recipes I have made. Without doubt we all love those over the top desserts and dishes to serve on special occasions and for those fives are a given. For me equally important are the recipes used in the daily meal preparation. Recipes enjoyed by my family be it a simple soup, salad or casserole are right up there with the 'over the tops' and share equal billing. Yes five star ratings ... if my family enjoyed, I would serve to invited guests, take to a pot luck, coffee hour or bake sale. <br /></p>
<p>Aside from cooking and baking I admit that my interest in gardening exceeds that of the norm. I collect cookbooks, my favorites being the community and church cookbooks that have everyone sharing their favorite recipes. Enjoy yard sales on occasion but tend to keep my hands in my pockets, cannot completely resist when it comes to the glassware, baskets and of course cookbooks. I take great pleasure in reading with non fiction being my first choice when it comes to the choosing.</p>
