Layered Vegetable Salad
Makes 12 Servings
3 Cups English peas
3 Cups Chopped Red Bell Pepper
3 Cups Shredded Carrot
3 Cups chopped English Cucumber
3 Cups Seeded Chopped Tomato (I used cherry tomatoes.)
*White Balsamic Vinaigrette (Recipe Follows)
1. In 12 (6-ounce jelly jars) layer 1/4 cup of each of peas, bell pepper, carrot, cucumber, and tomato. Put on lids, and refrigerate until ready to serve.
2. When ready to eat, spoon desired amount of White Balsamic Vinaigrette into each jar.
*Note: I couldn't find WHITE Balsamic Vinaigrette - so I use dark instead. The taste is the same, only the color is different.
