Blushing Antipasto Recipe
Recipe Ingredients
6 oz can of v-8 juice
1/4 cup salad oil
2 tbsp vinegar
6 oz pkg italian dressing mix
2 cup cauliflowerets
2 cup sliced fresh mushrooms
1 cup sliced carrots
1 cup sliced green pepper
1 cup sliced cucumber
Recipe Preparation
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.
Servings: 4

Food Tips of the Week
Some lower carb diet tips:
* Use soya flour or bake mix. When you need to use flour for baked goods, repalce it with soy flour or a soy baking mix like Atkins soy baking mix. In most cases, you can adapt your favorite recipes that use wheat flour to use these low carbohydrate alternatives.
* Don't skip meals Most reduced carbohydrate recipes are, rather obviously, low in carbohydrates. Your body must have energy, and carbohydrates are a rapid acting energy source. A low carb diet requires more care in managing your energy intake, as any energy given by non-carbohydrate sources is less efficient.
