List of Ingredients




see below; Charlotte points out this is a great dish for large dinners or potlucks.

Recipe



Combine the following fresh veggies:

2 cups broccoli florets
2 cups califlower florets
1 cup sliced mushrooms
1 red bell pepper, diced
1 large carrot, sliced thin


with 1 cup pitted black olives (sliced ok) and 1 6 oz. orlarger jar of marinated artichoke hearts (quartered).
Marinate with 2/3 cup vinagrette or Italian dressing and artichoke marinade. Cover and chill several hours.

At serving time, add:

1 large chopped and seeded tomato, or some halved cherry toms, 1 medium avacado, diced.

This is pretty in a glass bowl (my mom uses her trifle bowl).

N.B. feel free to experiment - the original recipe (from Better Homes and Gardens) had 1 1/2 cup cooked shell macaroni, and no bell peppers.
