I was pleasantly surprised at how much I really enjoyed this salad. My heads of broccoli & cauliflower were what I would call medium in size so I doubled the dressing as well as the oregano, peppers and caper. I actually would even triple the dressing next time. We omitted the olives. I had to used canned artichoke quarters because none of the stores had frozen. Also, no stores in my area had cherry peppers, so I used roasted red peppers instead.

Very good and different! We have lots of family gatherings and it’s nice to have a different vegetable side dish to bring. No cheese or Mayo, this recipe let’s the veggies shine. It’s not something we crave, but it’s a really good change up.

Excellent.  I love pickled stuff and the punch of vinegar was great.

I made this tonight for dinner with the rest of the menu.  It was delicious.  I loved the Cherry Peppers.  I’ve never had them before.  I couldn’t find frozen artichokes saw I had to use canned.  It was great.  I plan on making this for Super Bowl.

Very good and easy recipe.  I did add blanched green beans and celery. I substituted the oregano with dried and substituted the peppers with roasted red peppers and red pepper flakes because that’s what I had on hand.   Good to have a salad this great, even in the middle of winter.
