"Out if this world veggie dish and low in fat if you are watching your calories. Made this for a bereavement reception for a church family. They loved it and requested the recipe. Very colorful dish and easy for a pot luck."

Easy, colorful, and tasted great! I've already made a second batch! I've made countless versions of marinated vegetables. Using a ranch packet changed the flavor into something different and tasty! I used splenda and appreciated the recipe using no oil. Thank you for sharing this keeper! -
This is a nice cool 'veggie' dish for the hot summers in our location. I think that I will add sliced onion to it for a little more flavor next time, but still we liked it alot. Thanks for this nice cool recipe!

This was very easy to put together. I had this along side a hot sandwich I made for dinner. I used asparagus, sliced bell peppers, zucchini, cucumber and baby carrots. I will make this again for sure, and it's going to be great for lunches this week. :)

My name is Joanne and I have been married for 49 years to my high school sweetheart, Roman. We live in Louisville, Oh just east of Canton which is home of the Pro Football Hall of Fame. We have two grown sons, one recently divorced and the younger son is getting married for the first time in Sept. 07. We have no granchildren which is very disappointing but there is still hope.
I found this site in Dec. O5 and I am addicted. I recently took part in the cookbook swap which was fun and now am signed up for Pick A Chef.
I love to cook and enjoy serving as hospitality chairman at our church. I plan and prepare all luncheons, banquets, wedding receptions, etc. Many women and men assist me with these affairs.
I also love traveling, gardening and visiting the elderly. I enjoy browsing through my collection of Jr. League cookbooks and watching the Food network. Before Christmas each year I bake about 25 varieties of cookies and deliver them to the elderly. A most rewarding experience.
