This salad is different enough to make you forget about your diet.

15-MINUTE POT LUCK VEGETABLE SALAD

Serves 8 ¾ cup servings

 

4 ribs celery, chopped fine

1 large onion, chopped fine

20 oz frozen mixed vegetables, thawed and drained

 

Dressing

½ cup cider vinegar

1 tbsp flour

1 tbsp prepared mustard

½ tsp white pepper

¼ cup Splenda

 

1.                  In a large mixing bowl, combine chopped celery, onion, and thawed vegetables.  If you need to thaw the vegetables in a hurry, run the plastic bag or box under warm tap water until you feel the vegetables soften.  Then drain.

2.                  In a small saucepan, whisk together the vinegar, flour and the mustard.  Heat over medium heat to boiling; boil for 1 minute.  Remove from heat and stir in pepper and Splenda.  Add 1 ice cube to speed cooling of the dressing.

3.                  Pour dressing over the vegetables.  Serve immediately, or cover and refrigerate for up to 1 week.
