  • 1/4 cup balsamic or red wine vinegar
  • 2 tablespoons sugar
  • 1 clove garlic, finely chopped

Vegetables

  • 4 cups cooked broccoli or Brussels sprouts
  • 2 cups cherry tomatoes, cut in half
  • 3 cups mushroom halves or fourths (8 ounces)
  • Lettuce leaves, if desired

Steps

  • 1
    Beat all Balsamic Vinaigrette ingredients with wire whisk until smooth.

    In large glass or plastic bowl, pour vinaigrette over broccoli and tomatoes. Cover and refrigerate at least 3 hours but no longer than 24 hours.

    Add mushrooms to vegetables; toss until well coated. Drain before serving. Serve vegetables on lettuce.

  • For a shortcut, use a purchased vinaigrette. The varieties are endless, and if calories and fat are an issue, you can choose low-fat or no-fat dressings.
  • Serve these festive marinated vegetables on individual serving plates that you've lined with kale leaves or red leaf lettuce. Sprinkle with toasted pine nuts for extra pizzazz.
