Ingredients
  

SALAD:

  • 1 cucumber peeled and sliced
  • 1 small red onion peeled, sliced and separated into rings (I use about 1/3 of the onion sliced very thinly)
  • 1 each green, orange, red and yellow bell pepper seeded and cut in strips
  • 10 oz. container grape tomatoes halved
  • 1 rib celery sliced on the diagonal
  • 1 cup sugar snap peas
  • 1 cup broccoli florets
  • 1 cup carrot chips
  • 1/2 cup chickpeas rinsed and drained (or more, if desired

MARINADE:

  • 2/3 cup vinegar any kind will work but I prefer white or apple cider
  • 2/3 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 tsp. original Mrs. Dash seasoning
  • 1/2 tsp. Nature's Seasoning
  • 1/2 tsp. sea salt
  • 1/4 tsp. ground black pepper
  • 1 1/2 cups water

Instructions
 

SALAD:

  • Layer salad ingredients in bowl.
  • Toss with marinade.
  • Refrigerate a few hours before serving.

MARINADE:

  • Stir together marinade ingredients and set aside.

Notes

NOTE: Mom always liked to make this salad because she could do it ahead of time and not have to worry about making salad while preparing the rest of the meal.
NOTE: You can add lettuce, but only right before serving.
NOTE: Mom's recipe only included the first five ingredients. This is enough marinade for that. If you are using all the extra veggies I've added, or throwing in some others your family likes, you will need to DOUBLE the marinade which is what I did for these pictures.
NOTE: I used 5 very thinly sliced red onion slices, separated into rings.
