Tangy Marinated Vegetable Salad
This picnic salad is a combination of several vegetables marinated or "pickled" in vinegar, sugar, and oil. It is crunchy and delicious and makes an excellent side dish for cook outs and family reunions. This salad requires minimal cooking and is quick and easy to make. It is delicious served chilled the next day, as the flavors have time to work their magic and blend together perfectly. I like to serve this when I make pulled pork sandwiches.
