Marinated Vegetable Salad

Ingredients:
4 cups diced raw vegetables (carrots, broccoli, cauliflower, red bell peppers, jicama, zucchini, celery, etc.)

1/2 cup olive oil

1/4 cup red wine vinegar

1/2 cup chopped onions

3 cloves garlic, crushed

1/2 tsp. Italian Seasoning

Directions:
Place all of the vegetables in a 2-qt saucepan and cover with water. Cover the pan and bring to a boil over medium heat. Cook for 5 to 10 minutes, or until the vegetables are still crisp but tender. Remove from heat, drain, and run under cold water.

Place the rest of the ingredients in a large mixing bowl and mix until well blended. Add the vegetables and toss. Cover and let chill overnight in the refrigerator (to enhance the flavor).

Variations: Add shoestring-sliced cheese or salami, fresh parsley, black or green olives, or jalapeno peppers.

Cost per serving (3/4 cup): $0.56
