  • ½ large red bell pepper, cubed
  • ½ large yellow bell pepper, cubed
  • ½ large green bell pepper, cubed

INSTRUCTIONS
 

  • In a large bowl, mix all the marinade dressing ingredients. Set aside.

Reduce the heat and lower the veggies into the water. Cook on medium heat for 3 minutes, remove the vegetables with kitchen tongs and place them into ice-cold water. Once cooled drain and pat dry with a towel.
  • Add all the vegetables into the bowl with the marinade and stir to combine until all the veggies are covered in the vegetable marinade.
