Instructions
  1. Dice all the veggies and herbs and place is large, glass pyrex dish with a snap locking lid. I like to do this so I can minimize dishes.
  2. Add all the dressing ingredients in the pyrex container and mix well. NOTE: When measuring out the vinegars, you will “half” each vinegar into the 1/3 cup liquid measuring cup. I’m not sure what half of a third is (.166666….?). Anyway, just trust me and do it this way. It helps balanced the acidity of the dish.
  3. Let the veggies marinade in the fridge for a few hours. It’s best overnight and just gets better as the week progresses. Consume in 7 – 10 days for optimum flavor.
