This is a perfect salad for potlucks and other occasions year-round. In winter, the ingredients are available when many other vegetables aren’t in season…and in summer, it’s a worry-free picnic food since it doesn’t have a mayonnaise-based dressing.
Ingredients:
4 cups fresh broccoli florets
3 cups fresh cauliflowerets
1/2 pound sliced fresh mushrooms
2 celery ribs, chopped
4 green onions, thinly sliced
1 can (8 ounces) sliced water chestnuts, drained
1 bottle (16 ounces) italian salad dressing
1 envelope italian salad dressing mix
1 pint cherry tomatoes, halved
1 can (2-1/4 ounces) sliced ripe olives, drained
Directions:
1. In a large serving bowl, combine the broccoli, cauliflower, mushrooms, celery, onions and water chestnuts. In a small bowl, whisk salad dressing and dressing mix; drizzle over vegetables and toss to coat.
2. Cover and refrigerate overnight. Just before serving, add tomatoes and olives; toss to coat. Yield: 12 servings.
