JAYNE’S MARINATED
Vegetable Salad
This salad always reminds Sandy and her husband, Michael, of his family gatherings
in his parents’ backyard. Everyone is lounging around by the pool sipping cocktails
and watching Michael’s dad, Mike, prepare the grill. On warm Austin days, nothing is
as refreshing as Jayne’s (Michael’s mom) marinated salad. It is cool, crisp, and has
the perfect amount of crunch. Since it is best made beforehand and chilled overnight,
you, too, can look like Jayne, the effortlessly fabulous hostess. Kick back with a glass
of wine before guests arrive—the salad is ready! Serves 10
