A lovely, filling dish from my mom. I believe she got it from a market. You can use any color bell peppers - I like to use two different colors. I usually leave the skins on the potatoes and eggplant, but feel free to peel them before making the recipe, if that is your preference :)

MEDITERRANEAN MARINATED SALAD



Mediterranean Marinated Salad image

An easy, tasty mixture of vegetables, marinated in balsamic vinegrette. Holds well, so great for picnics or potlucks. Best when all vegetables are cut to similar size. Avocado may not be an authentic addition, but we like it - change the vegetables to suit what you have and what you like. You may have to adjust the salt, depending on whether you use olives and feta cheese or not.
