Ingredients
-
8 cups cooked leftover vegetables, of your choice
-
1 lb cherry tomatoes or 1 lb grape tomatoes, halved
-
1/4 cup red wine vinegar
-
1/2 teaspoon hot pepper sauce (or to taste)
-
2 -3 garlic cloves, minced
-
1 tablespoon fresh thyme or 1 teaspoon dried thyme
-
1/2 teaspoon sugar
-
1/2 teaspoon salt
-
3/4 cup olive oil
Instructions
- If any of the vegetables were originally cooked with butter or other seasonings, quickly (about 30 sec) immerse them in boiling water and remove; you'll have to do this in batches. I use a common fold-up metal vegetable steamer for this but with enough water heated in the pan to cover the veggies; you could also just use a strainer if you have one the right size.
- Immediately dip vegetables into cold water to stop from over-cooking, then pat dry.
- Whisk 2 Tbs water with the vinegar thru salt to combine.
- Whisk in oil in a slow steady stream.
- Refrigerate, covered, overnight.
- Serve at room temperature.
