Marinated Vegetable Salad

A simple salad chock full of fresh vegetables!

INGREDIENTS :

1 cup water

 ½ cup apple cider vinegar

 ¼ cup sugar

 2 teaspoons salt

 1 teaspoon pepper

 1 pint cherry tomatoes (buy super sweet if available), cut in halves

 3 bell peppers, ribs and seeds removed and diced into ½-inch pieces

 3-4 stalks celery, sliced ¼ -inch thick

 ¼-½ cup thinly sliced red onion, bite sized pieces

 1 English cucumber, peeled, quartered lengthwise and cut into ½-inch chunks

INSTRUCTIONS :

1.Whisk together the water, vinegar, sugar, salt, and pepper in a large bowl.

2.Add the chopped vegetables and let marinate, covered, in the refrigerator for at least 2 hours, but overnight is even better.

3.Toss occasionally to allow all the vegetables to absorb the marinade.

Notes:

I thought this tasted even better a day or two after making it!
