Veggie Crunch

Recipe #157067 | 3½ hours | 20 min prep | add private note

My weight loss KEY! This is a great way to eat fresh veggies. It is light, easy to make, and best of all delicious. Cook time is refrigeration. I never get tired of this way of enjoying my veggies.

SERVES 8 (change servings and units)

Ingredients

Directions

  1. 1
    Prepare all veggies and place in a cover able bowl. (I use Gladware).
  2. 2
    Mix water, vinegar, salt, pepper, sugar, and basil in a separate bowl until everything is dissolved.
  3. 3
    Pour over veggies.
  4. 4
    Refrigerate at least 3 hours before eating, but this will get better and better as it marinates. I have never had a batch last more than 4 days, but I think that would be my limit for storage.

I'm glad I found this because I was trying to find a good way to incorporate more veggies into my diet without having to dip them in salad dressing — which starts to defeat the purpose. Anyways, the only thing I changed was I substituted yellow bell pepper for the celery since I don't care for celery. Thanks for a healthy snack idea!

    I was hesitant to try a sugar/basil mix on cold vegetables, but it was a very pleasant surprise! The flavors are subtle and make a very nice combination. Thanks for getting us out of our rut--we usually douse these veggies in Italian...this is a nice alternative.

    The only vinegar I can have is Apple Cider Vinegar, so I substituted that for the red wine vinegar...was not impressed with the result. I'm sure it would be better with the red wine though.

    I really enjoyed this recipe. The only change i made was to use cilantro in place of the basil. The carrot, celery and zucchini really adsorb the flavour of the marinade. Delicious. Thanks for the recipe.
