1. Prepare the vegetables
Wash the tomatoes, cucumbers and peppers. Cut into pieces.
Slice the onion into half moons and finely chop the garlic.
Rinse and finely chop all the herbs.
2. Mix the salad
Put all the vegetables and herbs in a large bowl.
Add salt and oil. Mix well and leave for about 30 minutes so that the vegetables release their liquid.
3. Fill the jars
Sterilize the jars and lids (in the oven, water bath or dishwasher on high temperature).
Fill the jars tightly with the salad mixture – press down so that no air bubbles remain.
Add the liquid from the bowl. Top each jar with 1 teaspoon of sugar and 1 teaspoon of vinegar.
4. Sterilize
Close the jars tightly.
Place a kitchen towel in the bottom of a large saucepan. Place the jars in and pour in water so that it reaches half the jars.
Bring to the boil and leave to sterilize for 35–40 minutes. Then carefully remove the jars, turn them upside down and leave to cool under a blanket or towel.

5. Storage
Once the jars have cooled completely, store them in a cool, dark place. Will keep for several months – while maintaining their crispiness and flavor.
