Ingredients Galore!
Now, let’s gather our soldiers—err, ingredients—for this epic flavor battle! Here’s what you need:
- 2 cups of marinated vegetables (like cucumbers, bell peppers, and carrots)
- 1 cup of cherry tomatoes, halved
- 1 red onion, thinly sliced
- 1 cup of sliced olives (green or black, your pick!)
- 1 cup of corn (fresh, frozen, or from a can—no judgment here!)
- 1 cup of feta cheese, crumbled (because cheese makes everything better)
- 2 tablespoons of olive oil
- 1 tablespoon of red wine vinegar
- Salt and pepper to taste (and love!)
Let’s Get Cooking!
Time to unleash your culinary genius! Follow these simple yet glorious steps:
- In a large bowl, toss together the marinated vegetables, cherry tomatoes, red onion, olives, corn, and feta cheese. Just channel that inner salad spirit and give it a good mix!
- In a separate bowl, whisk together the olive oil and red wine vinegar. Don’t let it feel lonely; give it a good whisk until it’s all blended, just like a perfect dance partner.
- Drizzle the dressing over the salad and sprinkle with salt and pepper. Go ahead, be generous but don’t go overboard unless you want your salad to taste like the ocean.
- Give everything one last toss. You want those ingredients to mingle like they’re at a party—everyone should get a little taste of everyone else!
- Let the salad chill in the fridge for at least 30 minutes before serving. It’s just like a good movie; you have to let it marinate a bit for all the flavors to unfold.
And there you have it! A salad that’s not just full of crunchiness but flavor that dances on your tongue! Serve it up at your next gathering, and it’ll be the life of the party. Enjoy your kitchen escapades!
