1   V-8 juice
1/4 cup 59mlSalad oil
2 tablespoons 30mlVinegar
1   Italian dressing mix
2 cups 292g / 10ozCauliflowerets
2 cups 474mlFresh mushrooms - sliced
1 cup 110g / 3.9ozCarrots - sliced
1 cup 237mlGreen pepper - sliced
1 cup 237mlCucumber - sliced

Recipe 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.
