Crunchy Winter Vegetable Salad with Olives and Capers

Fabulous salad! Made for our huge family Christmas dinner 2007 and everyone loved it.  Light and full of veggies, great addition to an otherwise rich menu.  Even my mom who doesn't like cauliflower ate her entire serving.  Making again in a few days for a large get-together at our house.  Asked for recipe last time and expect the same this time too.

Absolutely a keeper!  I made this for our Italian cooking club, and it was the perfect crisp, light counterpoint for a rich first course of butternut-squash gnocchi and a shrimp-scallop soup.  It's not a salad that can be tossed together last-minute, though!  Definitely better to make the day before, and toss with dressing last-minute.  I made a few changes:  I used balsamic instead of white vinegar, and topped each serving with a sprinkling of toasted pine nuts and walnuts.  Gor shouts of BRAVISSIMA from the group!
