Salads

Vegetable Salad
SUBMITTED by Finleys Mom, Lincoln
“This is such an easy, delicious portable salad to take to family gatherings anytime of the year! A favorite!”

1 cup chopped celery
1 can of peas, drained
1 can of whole kernel corn, drained
1 can of French-style green beans, drained
1 green pepper, diced
1 cup diced onion
1 can of red pimento, chopped and drained.
Dressing:
1 ¼ cup sugar (I use less myself to cut down on the sugar intake…3/4 cup)
½ cup canola oil
1 tablespoon of water
¾ cup vinegar (white or yellow, experiment!)
1 teaspoon each of salt and pepper

Combine the veggies in a large, sealable bowl and set this aside. In a saucepan, combine the ingredients for the dressing and bring to a simmer. Turn off the heat and let the dressing cool. Stir dressing into the veggies and cover. Refrigerate the salad for a few hours or even better, overnight, prior to serving. I will stir the veggies periodically to allow the dressing to coat them. You can also add mushrooms to this salad. You will likely have lots a dressing leftover, not a problem, just add more veggies!
“This recipe was handed down to me by my favorite Aunt, Wilma.”
