FAVORITE MARINATED VEGETABLES

Steps:

• In a large bowl, combine the broccoli, cauliflower, cucumber, mushrooms, tomatoes and onion. Add dressing and toss to coat. Cover and refrigerate for 8 hours or overnight.

MARINATED VEGETABLE SALAD

Steps:

• For the Vinaigrette: add ingredients to a jar with a tight-fitting lid or bowl then shake or whisk to combine. Taste then add more salt, pepper, and/or oil if necessary (this dressing is very tart so add more oil if it's too tart for your tastes.)
• Add vegetables to a very large bowl then dress with 3/4 of the vinaigrette. Toss then refrigerate for 4 hours or up to overnight. Toss with remaining vinaigrette and season with salt and pepper to taste just before serving.

MARINATED VEGETABLES

Steps:

• In a bowl, combine the cauliflower pieces, the broccoli, mushrooms, red pepper, green beans, onions and carrot slices.
• Meanwhile, in a saucepan, heat the vinegar and seasonings together. Add oil and pour over the vegetables. Mix well then let it cool slightly. Transfer mixture to a large non metallic covered bowl.
• Refrigerate for several hours before serving, ideally for 24 hours.

SAVORY ROASTED ROOT VEGETABLES

Steps:

• Preheat an oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C).
• Place the beet, carrot, onion, potatoes, garlic, and garbanzo beans into a 9x13 inch baking dish. Drizzle with the olive oil, then season with thyme, salt, and pepper. Mix well.
• Bake, uncovered, in the preheated oven for 30 minutes, stirring once midway through baking. Remove the baking dish from the oven, and stir in the wine. Return to the oven, and bake until the wine has mostly evaporated and the vegetables are tender, about 15 minutes more. Stir in the beet greens, allowing them to wilt from the heat of the vegetables. Season to taste with salt and pepper before serving.

MARINATED ROASTED VEGETABLES

Steps:

• Blend all ingredients except for the vegetables in a large mixing bowl to make the marinade. Pour in the vegetables and stir them around so that they get initially coated with marinade.
• Marinate the vegetables in the refrigerator for about 2 hours, stirring once or twice.
• Place the vegetables, with all the marinade, in an 9" x 13" (or larger) casserole dish, cover with aluminum foil, and bake on the middle rack in a pre-heated oven at 375-degrees F. for 45 minutes.
• Serve hot.
• TIP: Sometimes the potatoes and carrots I use in this recipe are a little flaccid -- so, to fix that problem, all I do is soak them in really cold water (after they're peeled) for about 2 hours before marinating and they crisp right up!

SAVORY GRILLED VEGETABLES

Steps:

• In a small bowl, combine olive oil, balsamic vinegar, garlic, salt, black pepper and oregano.
• Snap off and discard woody bases from asparagus. If desired, scrape off scales. Brush mushrooms and all vegetables with oil mixture, reserving the remaining oil mixture.
• Place mushrooms on the rack of an uncovered grill directly over medium hot coals. Grill for 8 to 10 minutes or until tender, turning once and brushing with reserved oil mixture. Add vegetables to grill. Grill for 3 to 4 minutes or until tender, turning once and brushing with reserved oil mixture. Discard any remaining mixture.
• To serve, slice mushrooms. Arrange mushroom slices and other vegetables on a serving plate.
• Sprinkle with feta cheese.
