I love using Italian dressing in a lot of recipes. I started using it, to marinate raw vegetables. They are great fixed this way. Taste a piece or two of the vegetables, before draining off dressing. You might want to marinate longer or add more dressing. It is all up to your taste. Chill time, not included, in prep time.
