Step 1

To a large bowl, add peppers with cauliflower, peppers, carrots and celery. Sprinkle with salt. Cover with cold water and refrigerate at least 12 hours, covered. I often brine for 24 hours.

Step 2

Drain and rinse away the brine. Set aside.

Step 3

In a separate bowl, add garlic, oregano, celery seed, crushed red pepper flakes and ground pepper to taste. Add oil and vinegar (or water) and whisk to combine.

Step 4

Add to your vegetable mixture.

Step 5

Add chopped olives and mix well.

Step 6

Place it all into jars, ensuring the vegetables are covered with your oil mixture.

Step 7

Refrigerate at least 2 days before using, to allow flavors to mingle. A week is better! Should last you 2-3 weeks.
