Blushing antipasto
Yield: 4 Cups
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
Instructions:
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.
