Winter Veggie Salad

This is such a great salad to make in the winter. It keeps up to 4 weeks, so they say! It's never lasted that long in this house! I made it today for a potluck for my last class at the Studio this year. Luckily, there was some left to take a picture (or attempted to at least!)

Winter Veggie Salad

1 can French style green beans

1 can Shoepeg corn (I used white corn--what is shoepeg, anyway?)

1 can petite young peas

1 jar pimentos

1 red onion, finely diced

1 green pepper, diced

1 c. celery, diced

Put all these veggies in a colander and let drain completely. I used my hand to squeeze all that I could out of them. Put the drained veggies in a container, I used a glass wide mouthed jar (the decorative kind you can get at Christmas time). Then pour dressing over the veggies.

Dressing:

1/2 cup white vinegar

1/2 cup canola oil

1/2 cup sugar

1 tsp. salt

1 tsp. pepper

Mix all in a cup until sugar is dissolved. Pour dressing on veggies. Put lid on jar and shake. Store in the refrigerator. Best if made a day ahead of time to let the flavors blend.
