Carrot, celery and tomatoes go so well with broccoli and cauliflower in this crisp refreshing salad with a light vinaigrette dressing. My mom used this popular salad to round out a variety of different meals. Even when made ahead, it doesn't get soggy. -Lorrie Bailey, Pulaski, Iowa

The dressing is called a 'vinaigrette' but it uses lemon juice as an acid instead of vinegar.

Would any one know how much vinegar you would have to use. I would love to make it, it sounds like it would be very good.

That's a good question, Terry. I wouldn't have noticed it if you didn't say anything. Makes sense, doesn't it.

TOF, is there?

This recipe mentions a light vinaigrette dressing yet there is no vinegar listed in the dressing ingredients. Should there be a correction? Terry
