Christmas Eve Salad from Naples- Insalata di Rinforzo

Step 1

Bring all the brine ingredients to a boil.

Step 2

I prefer to cook all the vegetables separately, as their cooking time varies with their size. You want to leave them crispy.

Step 3

Drain and dry on a towel.

Step 4

Assemble all your jars, alternating the vegetables.

Step 5

Strain the boiling brine and cover the vegetables in the jar with the brine.

Step 6

To preserve, cook in a waterbath.

Step 7

They taste better if you let them sit a month before eating.
