Ingredients

Scale

Vegetables

  • 2 cups broccoli florets, cut into small pieces
  • 1/4 red onion, diced
  • 1 can baby corn (15 ounces), drained and each cob cut into 3 pieces
  • 2 cans whole mushrooms, drained

Dressing

  • 1 cup Olive Garden Italian Dressing

Instructions

  1. Prepare vegetables: Wash and cut the broccoli into small florets. Dice the red onion finely. Drain the baby corn and slice each cob into three pieces. Drain the canned whole mushrooms thoroughly.
  2. Combine ingredients: In a large bowl, add all the prepared vegetables together.
  3. Add dressing: Pour in the cup of Italian dressing and mix thoroughly to ensure all the vegetables are well coated with the dressing.
  4. Marinate: Cover the bowl and chill in the refrigerator for at least one hour. For best flavor, let the salad marinate longer, stirring once every hour to redistribute the dressing.
  5. Serve: After marinating, give the salad a final stir and serve chilled for a refreshing and flavorful dish.

Notes

  • Using canned mushrooms makes this salad quicker to prepare, but fresh mushrooms can be used if preferred—simply clean and slice them before adding.
  • The salad tastes best after marinating several hours or overnight to fully develop its flavors.
  • This salad can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
  • Feel free to substitute the Italian dressing with your favorite vinaigrette for different flavor profiles.
