• 1 cup broccoli florets
• 1 tablespoon dried dill weed
• ½ cup red wine vinegar

• 1 ½ cups extra virgin olive oil
• 2 cups fresh green beans, trimmed and halved

Recipe Instructions

Step 1

Bring a large pot of lightly salted water to a boil over high heat. Add the green beans, and cook until tender, 1 to 2 minutes. Drain, and rinse under cold water until the green beans are cool. Place into a bowl along with the broccoli, cauliflower, mushrooms, tomatoes, and olives; set aside.

Step 2

Whisk together the vinegar, salt, pepper, monosodium glutamate, garlic salt, and dill in a bowl. Slowly drizzle in the olive oil while continuing to whisk to create a dressing. Pour the dressing over the vegetables and stir to combine. Cover, and refrigerate at least 2 hours before serving.
