 * 1.5 cups small Broccoli florets
 * 1 cup small Cauliflower florets
 * 1/2 red pepper, thinly sliced
 * 1/2 yellow pepper, thinly sliced

 * 1 ripe plum tomato, cubed

 * 4 oz. vegan feta cheese, crumbled

Directions
Combine ingredients in a large bowl. Toss well, and allow to marinate in the fridge. Serve in pitas, tossed atop salad greens, on crackers or crostini. This recipe plays out well with various other/additional veggies (snow peas, lightly steamed carrots, zucchini, etc.), and is delicious with the peppers roasted beforehand.
