Directions
To make marinade: in jar, combine v-8 juice, salad oil, vinegar, and salad dressing mix; shake well. In bowl, combine vegetables; pour marinade over all. Marinate in refrigerator for at least 4 hours, stirring occasionally.* note: if not going to be eaten the same day, perhaps wait to add mushrooms and cucumbers until a few hours before serving --- they will go limp instead of remaining crisp. The balance can be combined and marinated up to a couple of days ahead of serving in the refrigerator. * i have found it works best if you marinate in a tightly covered bowl. Then when you are in the kitchen and think about it, you can just turn it upside down, shake it a bit, and put it back in the frig instead of stirring it
