MARINATED VEGETABLE AND BEAN SALAD



Marinated Vegetable and Bean Salad image

This recipe was inpired by a salad dressing recipe that I made for 1-2-3 Hits Tag, recipe #372633 - I tagged the dressing, but had no lettuce, so I came up with a salad to go with it. It turned out fantastic, so I'm posting it here. Cook time does not include overnight marinade time. Yes, it makes alot, but it's easily scaled down. Note that for easier measuring, 4 tbsp = 1/4 cup.

Time 20m

Yield 12 cups, 12 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 13

4 stalks celery, chopped
6 carrots, chopped
2 stalks broccoli, chopped
3 bell peppers, chopped (I used yellow, red, and green)
1 head cauliflower, chpped
1 red onion, chopped
1 (19 ounce) can kidney beans, drained and rinsed (sub any other beans)
4 tablespoons chives, chopped
13 tablespoons olive oil
9 tablespoons white wine vinegar
1/4 teaspoon sugar
2 1/2 teaspoons Dijon mustard
salt & pepper

Steps:

  • Combine veggies and beans in large, sealable, container.
  • Blend chives, oil, vinegar, sugar, mustard, salt and pepper with immersion blender, or whisk together well.
  • Add dressing to veggies, seal container, shake well, and allow to marinate overnight. Shake the container whenever you open the fridge to distribute the marinade.

Tips:

  • Choose fresh and colorful vegetables: The key to a great marinated vegetable salad is to use fresh, high-quality vegetables. Look for vegetables that are brightly colored and free of blemishes.
  • Use a variety of vegetables: Don't be afraid to mix and match different types of vegetables in your salad. This will add flavor and texture to the dish.
  • Marinate the vegetables for at least 30 minutes: The longer you marinate the vegetables, the more flavorful they will be. If you're short on time, you can marinate them for as little as 30 minutes, but for best results, marinate them for at least 2 hours or overnight.
  • Use a flavorful marinade: The marinade is what will give your salad its flavor, so make sure it's flavorful and well-balanced. You can use a simple vinaigrette, or you can get creative and try a more complex marinade, such as one made with herbs, spices, or citrus.
  • Serve the salad chilled: Marinated vegetable salad is best served chilled. This will help to keep the vegetables crisp and refreshing.

Conclusion:

Marinated vegetable salad is a healthy, refreshing, and delicious dish that can be enjoyed as a side dish or a main course.
