MEDITERRANEAN MARINATED SALAD

Mediterranean Marinated Salad image

An easy, tasty mixture of vegetables, marinated in balsamic vinegrette. Holds well, so great for picnics or potlucks. Best when all vegetables are cut to similar size. Avocado may not be an authentic addition, but we like it - change the vegetables to suit what you have and what you like. You may have to adjust the salt, depending on whether you use olives and feta cheese or not.
