Marinated Vegetables

This is great for snacking or as a side dish to pasta with tomato sauce. My BF is not a huge vegetable guy, but he couldn't stop sneaking helpings of this from the fridge.

• Ready In: 15 mins
• Serves: 6

Ingredients

• VEGETABLES

• 1  head cauliflower, cut into bit sized pieces
• 2  broccoli florets, cut into small florets
• 1  large red bell pepper, cut into 1/2 inch pieces
• 1  red onion, cut into 1/2 inch pieces
• 8  ounces button mushrooms, cut into bit sized pieces
•  crushed hot red pepper flakes (optional)

• DRESSING

• 2⁄3 cup extra virgin olive oil
• 1⁄3 cup red wine vinegar
• 1 1⁄2 tablespoons  Italian salad dressing mix

Directions

1. Mix the dressing ingredients together in a small container with a lid.
2. Shake to mix well.
3. Put the cut up veggies in a gallon sized plastic bag.
4. Add the dressing.
5. Close the bag and toss it around a few times to coat the veggies.
6. Once everything is well coated, squeeze out the air and refrigerate.
7. This tastes better if you let it sit overnight before serving. I like to sprinkle each serving with hot pepper flakes.
