Whisk or shake together all of the dressing ingredients until completely combined.
Pour the dressing over the vegetables; stir gently to combine.
Cover and refrigerate for at least 2 hours or overnight.
Notes
Use just about any combination of vegetables that you prefer, and then toss them all together in this simple red wine vinaigrette. For instance, try celery, cauliflower, sliced mushrooms, chopped green beans, sliced red onion, diced pimentos, corn, zucchini, or yellow squash. Just make sure that the total vegetables in your salad is equal to about 5 cups.

This recipe yields about 5 cups of salad. To serve a crowd, I suggest doubling or tripling all of the ingredients.
Give the dish even more Mediterranean flavor by stirring in some crumbled feta cheese.
Swap out the red wine vinegar and use apple cider vinegar (or another vinegar of choice) instead.
Add crunch to the salad by garnishing with toasted nuts such as slivered almonds, pine nuts, or chopped pecans just before serving.
