Marinated Veggie Salad

This one's from Kaye Riebau in Renton, Washington:

1 head of cauliflower

2 heads of broccoli - I like to have equal or more broccoli to cauliflower

1 green pepper

2 bunches of green onions

1 package of fresh button mushrooms

Wash and cut up veggies. Place in large mixing bowl.

Add:

1 or 2 cans of sliced water chestnuts

1 16 oz. can of black olives - cut in half

I really like the flavor of the "Good Seasons" Salad Dressing Mix.

Begin with 1 package (0.7 oz) of "Good Seasons" Italian All Natural Salad Dressing (dry mix).

Follow the directions on the package. You will need cider vinegar and olive oil.

Pour over veggies, water chestnuts and black olives mixture. Mix well. Place covered bowl in refrigerator, stirring often.

You can prepare this salad 12 - 24 hours before serving.

I like to have some extra dressing just in case I want to add more while marinating.
