Wash all vegetables and chop into bite size pieces. (For ease of tossing and transporting, use 30 gallon plastic food storage bags, but be sure to double them to be on the safe side.) Use additional vegetables which might be on hand, such as broccoli, cauliflower, onions, zucchini, beets, mushrooms, spinach, sprouts, apples, raisins, sunflower seeds, cooked whole beans (such as chick peas, kidney beans, green peas), etc. Hint: Use a smaller salad bowl for serving and only dress the salad in that bowl. Keep the rest on ice or refrigerated. Salad will keep overnight if undressed.
