Italian Low-Cal

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. - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -
