- Bring 3 qts of water to a boil in a large stainless-steel or possibly porcelain-lined kettle. Add in the salt, 3 Tbsp. of the extra virgin olive oil, the carrot slices and the onions. Blanch for about 2 min and add in the radishes and asparagus.
- Bring to a simmer and drain the liquid. Refresh the vegetables in very cool water and drain again. Mix the olives with the vegetables.
- Put the vegetable mix in five 1-qt glass canning jars and divide the remaining ingredients among the jars, starting with extra virgin olive oil and ending with vinegar. Cap the jars and shake them to mix all.
- Store in refrigerator for 2 days before serving, turning jars upside down now and then to mix all. This will keep in the refrigerator for about 6 days, but is best served on the second or possibly third day.
- Yeild: About 5 qts.
- Comments: This is a good example of the taste of the Greek islands.
- This recipe makes quite a bit, so you should plan to prepare it when asparagus is cheap and you have some nice neighbors with whom you would like to share this delicious salad.
