I’m a big fan of vinegar-based vegetable salads. They’re easy to make and great tasting. I like mine to have a little crunch in them. Of course, fresh produce is a bit pricey in the off-season and I try to avoid buying much of it. That’s why I like this version of marinated vegetable salad which uses a few frozen vegetables.

You can leave out the red bell pepper, or substitute jarred roasted red bell pepper. And frozen (but then thawed) pearl onions could be substituted for the sweet onion. Pretty much anything can be added to this marinated vegetable salad. I would tend to use things that add a bit of a crunch.
