It’s time for Karen’s Killer Fixin’s! Over the years, I’ve filled two 4-inch, 3-ring binders with my own creations as well as recipes my family and friends were willing to share with me. I simply love to cook and want to share that love with my readers. So every Friday, I share one recipe I think you and your family might enjoy. It might be a main course recipe from my own kitchen or a guest author favorite. It could be a cookie or baked item. Candy. Salads. Whatever strikes the eye and fancy…which today is MARINATED VEGETABLE SALAD!
When I went searching through my recipes to find something to share, I came across one that I hadn’t thought of in ages. I must make it this weekend. 🙂 It’s good for you, delicious, and can be made ahead of time. In fact, the marinating is crucial.
I hope you enjoy today’s Killer Fixin’s. Happy eating!
Karen

My mother used to marinade Brussels sprouts (and then wrap them in thinly sliced ham), but she just used Italian dressing. I like how your recipe adds flavor to the bottled dressing!
I think it’s why I like this version. It has a zippier flavor. The ham wrapped Brussel sprouts sound yummy, too. Bet you could throw those in here, too, and have a complete meal. Hmmmm, making notes! LOL
I’m in for all but the olives! Thanks, Karen…
I’m not a huge olive fan either, Kathleen. Husband loves them though. I can handle small amounts of black olives. If I’m not in the mood for them, I’ll leave them out and toss some into HIS salad when I serve it. 🙂
Sounds good especially because people can adjust to their own likes – vege wise Thanks for sharing your recipes with us
Thank you for sharing your recipe, I only like black olives, I don’t care for green olives, so if it’s black olives, it’s even better. Have a Great weekend and stay safe.
This sounds really delish! Put both green and black olives for me. I love them both!
Sounds good!! Thanks for sharing Karen.
