Instructions

  • Mix olive oil, parsley, white wine vinegar, garlic, salt, mustard powder, and pepper in a bowl to make the marinade.
  • Put all the chopped veggies in a big bowl.

  • Cover the bowl and put it in the fridge for at least 4 hours or overnight to let the flavors mix together.
  • When you're ready to eat, take out the salad, serve it cold, and enjoy!

Notes

  • Let the salad sit in the fridge for at least 2 hours before you eat it, so the flavors mix well. It's great to prepare ahead of time.
  • Take the salad out of the fridge 10 minutes before serving. This helps the oil spread evenly and not clump up.
  • Give the salad a good stir before serving. Sometimes the marinade sinks to the bottom.
  • Taste a little bit as you mix. If you want more seasoning, go ahead and add it. The amounts in the recipe are just suggestions.
  •  Keep any leftovers covered in the fridge. They'll stay good for up to 5 days.
