Depending on what else is being served for your Christmas dinner, this can be a great addition. It can substitute for a salad because it is served cold. It can be made the day before, and for a lovely presentation can be served on individual butter lettuce leaves, on its own salad plate. If you don't chose to use Good Seasons Garlic Herb dressing, I cannot account for the resulting flavor. The veggies need all of the herbs and spices in the dressing, imo.

Garlic Herb Marinated Vegetables

1/2 c Good Seasons Garlic Herb dressing made with Heinz Apple Cider Vinegar and Wesson Canola Oil - per 4 cups vegetables. (I make 8 cups vegetables and use all of dressing made with one packet.)

2 medium zucchini, washed, ends removed, cut in 1/8-1/4" coins
1 c cauliflower, cut into florets
1 c broccoli, cut into small florets
1 c mushroom caps, stems removed, wiped clean, and cut in half if large
1 scant cup artichokes, prepared from the salad bar at grocer's
1/2 red onion, cut into 6-8 wedges, wedges cut in half horizontally, leaves separated
cherry tomatoes, added at serving time
whole sm black olives for color, optional

Pour dressing over combined vegetables; toss. Cover; marinate in refrigerator 4 hours or overnight. Makes however many cups of vegetables you use. I use a gallon-size Ziplock bag and marinate it 24 hours for the Christmas meal.
