For the dressing, in a 10-cup plastic container, combine the vinegar,

lemon juice, basil, oregano, garlic, and salt. Shake gently to

combine, then add the oil and several grinds of the pepper. Cover

tightly and shake vigorously to blend. Set aside for an hour so the

flavors can meld.

 

In layers, add the broccoli, green and red pepper rings, onion, beans,

carrots, zucchini, mushroom, tomatoes, and spinach. Cover and shake

vigorously to coat the salad with the dressing. Serve immediately or

marinate in the refrigerator for 2 to 24 hours. Garnish with soynuts

and serve.

 

Makes 4 servings.
