A vibrant and flavorful marinated vegetable dish perfect for any occasion.
Bring a large pot of water to a boil and blanch the cauliflower and broccoli for about a minute.
Blanching helps to preserve the vibrant color and crisp texture of the vegetables.
Immediately transfer the blanched vegetables to a bowl of ice water to stop the cooking process.
This step ensures the vegetables remain crisp and do not overcook.
Combine all the prepared vegetables in a large mixing bowl.
Mix the vegetables gently to avoid breaking them.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the vinegar, sugar, salt, pepper, oregano, water, garlic powder, and minced garlic cloves until well combined.
Ensure the sugar and salt are fully dissolved for a smooth marinade.
Pour the marinade over the vegetables, toss to coat evenly, and transfer to an airtight container.
Use a container that allows the vegetables to be fully submerged in the marinade for even flavoring.
Refrigerate the marinated vegetables for at least 24 hours before serving.
The longer the vegetables marinate, the more flavorful they become. Stir occasionally for even marination.
