Ingredients

Vegetables:

1/4 cup freshly squeezed lemon juice
1 tablespoon kosher salt
1 pound broccoli rabe, trimmed
1 cup small cauliflower florets
8 ounces button mushrooms (cut in half if too large)
1 cup half-moon-sliced zucchini
1 cup half-moon-sliced yellow squash
1/2 cup roasted red pepper strips
1/2 cup marinated, quartered artichoke hearts
1/2 cup oil-cured black olives, pitted

Italian Marinade:

1/4 cup red wine vinegar
2 tablespoons freshly squeezed lemon juice
1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
2 teaspoons kosher salt
1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
1 clove garlic, chopped
1/3 cup extra-virgin olive oil
1/2 cup canola oil
1 tablespoon thinly-sliced fresh basil leaves, plus whole leaves for garnish
1 lemon, cut into wedges, for garnish
Equipment: 1 large stock pot with submersible pasta basket

Directions

Make the Vegetables: Fill the stock pot with water and bring to a boil. Stir in the lemon juice and salt. Fill the pasta basket with the broccoli rabe, cauliflower, mushrooms, zucchini, and squash. Submerge in the boiling water and cook, covered for 2 minutes. Remove the basket and refresh the vegetables under cold running water.

Transfer the vegetables to a bowl and mix with the pepper strips, artichokes, and olives.

In a blender, combine the vinegar, lemon juice, mustard, salt, and pepper. Mix on medium until completely blended. While the motor is running, slowly pour in the oils in a steady stream to make a smooth dressing.

Pour the dressing over vegetables. Add the basil and toss well. Chill for at least 2 hours before serving. Arrange on a decorative platter garnished with fresh basil and lemon wedges.

Italian Marinated vegetables
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

My family LOVED it. We were having a party and once I had it cooled and set out I had to slap hands away once they tasted it.... Truly something to look forward too. The dressing is also great for salads by itself too!Read more

Although the dressing is on the sour side, my family enjoyed the flavor. This will be a standard in the summer instead of... the same old potato salad!Read more

correct the sourness
Rated: 3 stars out of 5

To cut the sourness of the dressing, I added a little sugar substitute to taste and it worked just fine. I don't like sour... dressing either.Read more
