  2. In a small bowl, whisk together the olive oil, red wine vinegar, sugar, salt, and black pepper until the sugar dissolves.
  3. Pour the dressing over the vegetables and toss gently to coat.

Notes

Store any leftover salad in an airtight container in the refrigerator. It will keep well for up to 2 days. The vegetables may release some water and become softer over time. Great as a side dish or a light main course.
