6 oz Can of V-8 juice
1/4 c  Salad oil
2 tb Vinegar
6 oz Pkg Italian Dressing mix
2 c  Cauliflowerets
2 c  Sliced fresh mushrooms
1 c  Sliced carrots
1 c  Sliced green pepper
1 c  Sliced cucumber

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.
