Ingredients

  • 2 English Cucumber peeled and diced
  • 1 cups cherry tomatoes halved
  • 3 celery stalks diced
  • 1 cup bell pepper diced
  • 1 cup of sliced black olives drained
  • 1 1/2 cups of diced pepper jack cheese
  • 1 cup sour cream
  • 1 cup mayo
  • 2 tablespoons of white wine vinegar
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1/8 teaspoon pepper
  • 1 1/2 teaspoons celery seed

Instructions

  • Start by prepping all your vegetables and dice them up into bite-size pieces and place in a bowl. Toss in your cubed cheese. Once all your fresh vegetables are prepped you will move onto the homemade dressing.
  • Next, you will mix up the mayonnaise, sour cream, rice vinegar, salt, pepper, and celery seed. Once creamy, pour over your vegetables.
  • Give your fresh vegetable salad a stir, and then serve or store it in the fridge until you are ready to serve it up.

Notes

Feel free to swap the pepper jack cheese with cheddar, mozzarella, etc.
You can toss in or remove veggies to create a custom cold vegetable salad to fit your preference.
This veggie salad does double well.
Store the veggie salad in the fridge for up to 5 days. Toss well before each time you serve it. If the veggies are seeming to go bad, then toss the salad out. Use your best judgment in terms of quality. It all depends on how ripe your ingredients are when you make the salad.
Other veggies you could add to the salad - broccoli, cauliflower, jalapeno, fresh corn off the cob, snap peas, etc. Essentially any vegetables you enjoy could be a great ingredient to mix in.
