I made this for my family reunion last summer. I doubled the recipe, and within 30 minutes, it was gone. Everyone loved it. This recipe is always a crowd pleasure.

How To Make marinated calico salad

  • 1
    Place all vegetables in a large glass container with a lid.
  • 2
    Place sugar, oil, vinegar, salt and pepper in a saucepan. Heat and stir until sugar dissolves.
  • 3
    Pour over vegetables, and gently stir. Refrigerate overnight. When ready to serve, stir again, then transfer to a bowl, using a slotted spoon to do so, as the marinate tends to make more juice overnight.
