Use the following vegetables, washed and cut into bite size pieces, you can use whatever you like.  The brighter the better, a nice alternative to the typical vegetable tray, it’s a very festive looking dish for your table.

1-2 heads of broccoli
1 head cauliflower
2 seeded cucumbers, skin intact
2 pints of grape or cherry tomatoes
1 red onion, sliced into thin wedges
2 large carrots, peeled

Combine all vegetables in a large mixing bowl.  Generously drizzle olive oil over vegetables, about ¼ cup.  Mix well.  Season with 1 teaspoon salt, ½ teaspoon pepper, 1 teaspoon granulated or powdered garlic, 2 teaspoons dried oregano.  Toss to evenly distribute seasonings.  Splash about 2 tablespoons red wine or cider vinegar over veggies and mix well.  You can keep in the refrigerator for a day or two before your party, the vegetables will marinate.
