This is a recipe I found on bhg.com. I was making appetizers for a family party and wanted to do a vegetable tray with a twist. This was a keeper, along with a number of others that I'll give you the recipes for as well.
Ingredients
- 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).
