Kittencal's Marinated Vegetables

---

Plan ahead the veggies need to marinate for at least 24 hours before serving. These will keep well for a couple of days stored tightly covered in the refrigerator. The garlic is optional add in only if you are a garlic-lover as it tends to overpower the marinade! You can use pitted black olives in place of the green, add in some crushed red chili flakes for heat if desired :)
