Ingredients

  • 1 bunch fresh broccoli
  • 4 carrots, sliced
  • 2 quarts boiling water
  • 1 tablespoon sugar
  • 1/2 cup white wine vinegar
  • 1 teaspoon dry mustard
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon pepper
  • 1 1/2 cups oil
  • 1/2 lb. fresh mushrooms, sliced or halved
  • 2 tablespoons chopped green pepper

Directions

Trim broccoli florets; peel stems, quarter and cut into 2-inch lengths; set aside. Place carrots in boiling water. Add sugar; boil for 6 minutes. Add broccoli; cook 1 minute longer. Drain well. Run cold water over vegetables to stop cooking.

In large bowl, combine vinegar, mustard, salt, pepper and oil. Whisk until mixture thickens. Add broccoli and carrots; fold in mushrooms and green pepper, to evenly coat with dressing.

Cover and chill at least 3 hours; this tastes even better when refrigerated overnight.
