Amount Measure Ingredient -- Preparation Method
-------- ------------ --------------------------------
6 oz Can of V-8 juice
1/4 c Salad oil
2 tb Vinegar
6 oz Pkg Italian Dressing mix
2 c Cauliflowerets
2 c Sliced fresh mushrooms
1 c Sliced carrots
1 c Sliced green pepper
1 c Sliced cucumber
To make marinade: In jar, combine V-8 juice, salad
oil, vinegar, and salad dressing mix; shake well. In
bowl, combine vegetables; Pour marinade over all.
Marinate in refrigerator for at least 4 hours,
stirring occasionally.*
NOTE: If not going to be eaten the same day, perhaps
wait to add mushrooms and cucumbers until a few hours
before serving --- they will go limp instead of
remaining crisp. The balance can be combined and
marinated up to a couple of days ahead of serving in
the refrigerator.
* I have found it works best if you marinate in a
tightly covered bowl. Then when you are in the kitchen
and think about it, you can just turn it upside down,
shake it a bit, and put it back in the frig instead of
stirring it.
