Made this for a B'day party & it was very tasty & colorful. When you coated it with the salad dressing & refrigerated it for 2 hrs., I was surprised how the broccoli absorbed the dressing along with the mushrooms & onions. After adding the tomatoes, it was very colorful & presented itself well. There was a little left over & it tasted pretty good the next day, with the flavor of the dressing blended through out the salad. My husband liked it but said, "You have to like those vegetables to like the salad". I love marinated vegetables so I thought it was great! Thanks Dorothy Myrick for the great recipe.
