From lesliegw 17 years agoIngredients
- 1/3 cup olive oil shopping list
- 1/3 cup lemon juice shopping list
- 2 Tablespoons snipped fresh basil shopping list
- 1 clove garlic, minced shopping list
- 1 Tablespoon Dijon mustard shopping list
- 1/8 teaspoon pepper shopping list
- 8 oz. fresh green beans, trimmed shopping list
- 12 oz. baby carrots with tops, peeled and trimmed (I used bag baby carrots with no tops) shopping list
- 2 med. red and/or yellow sweet peppers, cut into 1-in. pieces shopping list
- 8 oz. fresh mushrooms, stems removed shopping list
- 1 cup cherry tomatoes shopping list
How to make it
- For vinaigrette, in a screw-top jar combine oil, lemon juice, basil, garlic, mustard, salt, and pepper. Cover and shake well. Set aside
- In a large saucepan cook green beans, covered, in a small amount of boiling water for 4 minutes. Add carrots and cook. covered, for 8 minutes more or until vegetables are crisp-tender. Drain and rinse with cold water. Combine beans, carrots, sweet peppers, mushrooms, and tomatoes in a bag set in a large bowl. Pour vinaigrette over vegetables.
- Seal bag and refrigerate for 4 to 24 hours, turning bag occasionally. To serve, bring to room temperature. Drain vegetables; arrange on a platter. (These veggies are so much better the longer you are able to marinate them, so if you've got time, let 'em go at least over night).

Thanks for the post. This really adds a little punch to the same old boring veggie tray at a party. I thank you and I am sure my guests would too. A 5.
