Christmas Vegetable Salad
My sister gave me this recipe at a family gathering one year, and I've been making her colorful, crisp salad for holiday get-togethers, dinner parties and potlucks ever since.
This festive salad travels well and holds up beautifully on the buffet table, so it's ideal for making ahead. Serve it in a clear bowl so everyone can see the pretty color combination. —Mary Dean, Eau Claire, Wisconsin

Was a huge hit at our family's Christmas decorating contest! Am planning to make it for Christmas Day dinner, too! After reading the comments, I had peperoccinis available for those who like them. I thought they added a great flavor to the salad! Was very attractive in my cut-glass bowl, too!
Disappointing! Glad I tried this before making it for Christamas!
I've made a similar thing for years and call it "Winter Salad". I add sliced carrots and often add marinated artichoke hearts, using a little additional of the artichoke marinade as the dressing. I may make a large batch and keep in the frig for several days, taking some out each day to toss with some lettuce, pine nuts, snap peas, pepperocini, and whatever else I have on hand that sounds good. I sometimes rinse off the artichoke hearts and use another dressing. This is versatile and always a hit.
This was a great salad, for someone who doesn't like peppers or stuffed olives it was great.

I made this for Christmas Day and was a big success. Then I made it for a baby shower and everyone loved this recipe. I could make this every week my Husband really likes this salad.
Very tangy and tasty, albeit unusual. My family liked this salad--it went well with lasagna as a side dish, believe it or not!
