Veggie Chopped Salad

TOTAL TIME: Prep/Total Time: 25 min. YIELD: 12 servings.
My husband's aunt gave me this recipe back in the '80s, and it's been a staple at our house ever since. I like to make it a day ahead because some time in the fridge makes it even better. Be sure to save yourself some leftovers, too. —Madeline Etzkorn, Burien, Washington
