Raw Vegetable Salad for a Crowd
Like many of my recipes, this one has been hanging around since the '70's, and it is always a huge hit. I have never tried to alter it in any way, as I've never felt it needed it; but if anyone has any suggestions, fire away! It takes a bit of planning, as it needs to marinate overnight, but it's well worth it. Because it makes such a large amount, I only make this salad when I am entertaining a big crowd. Ingredients
- 2 heads cauliflower
- 2 heads broccoli
- 1 lb. carrots
- 1 bunch green onions
- 4 ribs celery
- 1 can baby corn
- 1 lb. fresh mushroom
- 1 long English cucumber
- 2 lbs. cherry tomatoes
- Dressing:
- 1 1/4 cup vinegar
- Liquid from baby corn plus enough water to measure 3/4 cup
- 1 Tbsp salt
- 2 cups canola oil
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 Tbsp sugar
- 1 tsp oregano
- 1/2 tsp dry mustard
- 1/2 tsp white pepper
- 1 tsp celery seed
Directions
- Cut all vegetables into bite-sized pieces and combine in a large bowl, except for the cucumbers and tomatoes. I put those in just before serving, as the cukes tend to get soft and the tomatoes just get messed up.
- Mix all dressing ingredients well and pour over salad. Cover and refrigerate overnight.
- Add cherry tomatoes and cucumbers, toss gently and serve.
