You can use just about any vegetable in your refrigerator to make this delicious low-calorie soup. I use this a lot in the wintertime for lunch or as a snack to quell hunger pains. Filling and low in calories!
This is an all-u-can-eat side dish or snack. When deciding on the veggies you want to use, think about the variety in color and texture that you would most like to experience. Here are 2 examples: cabbage, green onions, carrots and red peppers or tomatoes, mushrooms, green and yellow peppers
For the Salad:
Chop veggies into bite size pieces to equal 4 cups and place in large salad bowl. Add ¼ cup marinade and mix well. Refrigerate for at least 1 hour before serving. Enjoy for 3-5 days refrigerated. Leafy greens are also a great salad choice, however, because they easily wilt, greens need to be served soon after washing. Try serving veggie confetti on a luscious bed of greens such as arugula, spinach, or colorful lettuce.
For the Marinade:
Combine marinade ingredients in a small food processor or blender. Mix until smooth
This recipe was adapted from the cookbook, Run Fast Eat Slow. The butter is reduced and unsweetened applesauce is used for most of the maple syrup. These muffins freeze well and make an easy breakfast or snack between meals.
