Who needs potato chips?

Looking for a healthy snack I came across this tasty treat. Tangy Marinated Vegetables. You could use any assortment of veggies. I used broccolli, baby bellas and carrot sticks. I also threw in a few handfuls of raw garlic.

Marinade

  • 1/2 cup vegetable oil
  • 1/4 cup olive oil
  • 1/4 cup red wine vinegar
  • 2 Tbs. dried oregano
  • 2 Tbs. dried basil
  • 2 Tbs. dried parsley
  • 1/2 tsp. red pepper flakes

Vegetables

  • 2 cups broccoli florets
  • 1 cup carrot sticks or baby carrots
  • 1 cup small button mushrooms, halved
  • 1/2 cup Garlic Cloves

Directions

To make Marinade:

1. Whisk together all ingredients in large bowl.

2. Pour Marinade into 1-quart canning jar with lid or large resealable plastic bag. Add all Vegetables, and shake to coat.

3. Refrigerate 4 hours, or overnight, shaking mixture occasionally. Enjoy straight out of jar, like pickles.
