Blushing Antipasto

Yield:
4 Cups

Categories:
Salads,
Vegetables,
Italian,
Low-cal




Ingredients:





     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.
