Yum, but looks like you are missing the peperoncino.

Giardiniera
Makes about 5 cups

For pickling liquid
[1 cup distilled white vinegar
1-1/2 cups water
1/2 cup sugar
2-1/2tablespoons kosher salt
]1/2 teaspoon yellow mustard seeds
1/2 teaspoon dried hot red-pepper flakes

For vegetables
1/2 head cauliflower (1 lb), trimmed and broken into 1- to 1 1/2-inch florets (3 cups)
1/2 red bell pepper, cut into 1-inch pieces
1/2 yellow bell pepper, cut into 1-inch pieces
2 carrots, cut diagonally into 1/2-inch-thick slices (1 cups)
2 celery ribs, cut into 1-inch-thick slices (1-1/2 cups)
1 cup drained bottled whole pepperoncini (2 oz)
1/2 cup large brine-cured greens olives (preferably Sicilian)
1/4 cup oil-cured black olives)
Bring pickling-liquid ingredients to a boil in a saucepan, stirring until sugar is dissolved. Transfer to a 4-quart bowl and cool about 30 minutes.

Cook vegetables: Bring about 3 quarts unsalted water to a boil in an 8-quart pot. Have ready a large bowl of ice and cold water. Add cauliflower to pot and boil until crisp-tender, about 3 minutes, then transfer with a slotted spoon to ice bath to stop cooking. Cook remaining vegetables separately the same way, allowing 4 minutes each for bell peppers and carrots and 2 minutes for celery. Drain vegetables in a colander and spread out on 2 large kitchen towels to dry. Add cooked vegetables, pepperoncini, and olives to pickling liquid, Weigh vegetables down with a plate to keep them submerged, then chill, covered, at least 1 day

Don’t use a pure aluminum uncoated pot because the vegetable are acidic. I use glass.
