All you need is any vegetables of your choice, salt and spices, couple of spoons of olive oil and some mayonnaise (optional). Let's begin! Choose any vegetables that you love, cut and slice them up. I picked onions, carrots, peppers, potatoes, mushrooms, zucchini and green beans. You'll need couple of each vegetable, or some more of your favorite!

In a separate small dish take 3-4 tablespoons of olive oil and add some salt and spices of your choice. Mix the spices with oil and drizzle over the vegetables.
