Crunchy Refrigerator Salad

  • 1

Ingredients

  • 14 ounces coleslaw mix
  • 12 ounces broccoli and cauliflower florets
  • 10 ounces matchstick carrots (or 1 cup and 1/2 of diced carrots)
  • 1 onion, chopped
  • 1/2 cup water
  • 1/2 cup sugar
  • 1/2 cup white vinegar
  • .7 ounce package of dry Italian Dressing Mix (enough to make 8 ounces of dressing)

Preparation

Step 1

In very large bowl, combine all vegetables.

In 2 cup measuring cup, pour water, vinegar, sugar, and dressing mix. Stir for a few minutes until well combined and sugar begins to dissolve (it won't dissolve completely at this point).

Pour dressing over vegetables and stir well to coat. Cover and let sit at room temp for one hour. After one hour, stir again, cover and place in the fridge for several hours or overnight.

Before serving, stir well. Will keep in fridge for up to a week. It actually gets better as the week goes on!
