Salad:

2 cups small cauliflower florets -- (1/2 pound)

1 cup green beans -- cut into 1-inch pieces

1 carrot -- cubed

1 can artichoke hearts -- (14-ounce) drained and rinsed

1/4 cup diced red onion

1 green bell pepper -- diced

2 celery stalks -- sliced

2 cups cooked red kidney beans

20 Greek olives -- optional

Salt and freshly ground black pepper

Dressing:

3 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil

2 tablespoons dry white wine

2 tablespoons red wine vinegar

4 garlic cloves -- minced

1 tablespoon chopped fresh oregano -- or 1 1/2 teaspoons dried

 

This crunchy vegetable salad is lightly dressed and requires hours of marination

to allow the full flavor to develop.

 

Blanch the cauliflower, green beans, and carrot in boiling- water to cover for

45 seconds. Plunge into cold water and drain.

 

Combine the blanched vegetables plus the artichoke hearts, onion, bell pepper,

celery, kidney beans, olives (if using), and salt and pepper to taste in a

large salad bowl.

 

To make the dressing, in a small bowl, whisk together the olive oil, wine,

vinegar, garlic, and oregano. Pour over the vegetables. Cover and refrigerate

for at least 4 hours and up to 8 hours tossing occasionally. Taste and adjust

seasonings before serving.
