This salad recently made a comeback at my house. My MIL used to make this all the time and my kids loved it. I don't think I've made it in the 3-4+ years since she passed but the kids raved and asked for more. And it's sooo easy!
1 large green bell pepper
1 large yellow bell pepper
1 large red bell pepper
3-4 large celery stalks
2-3 large carrot sticks or about 25-30 baby carrots
1/2 red onion
1 cucumber partially peeled(we leave this out, we're not crazy about them)
1 can jumbo black olives, pitted (drained)
4-5 roma tomatoes
Chop everything coarsely into large bite size pieces. Cut carrots and celery on a slanted diagonal to look pretty. :) Add about 1/4 cup light zesty italian dressing and marinate the vegetables all day. If you're home, rotate the container several times to ensure all ingredients get a good coating of dressing. We topped ours with a sprinkle of gorgonzola or bleu cheese dressing when served. Yum-O! LOL!
