Notes: Carly and Eve don't like the capers. Can use more or less oil depending on your tastes. Balsamic vinegar can be used instead of white wine vinegar. Other vegetables can be added or deleted depending on your tastes, carrots, zuchinni, cabbage etc. we usually have left overs, does improve with age.
