Fat Willy's Broccoli Salad

1 bunch broccoli

1 red onion, sliced thin

2 tomatoes, cut in eighths

1 lb fresh mushrooms, sliced

1/2 cup canola or olive oil

1/2 cup vinegar

1 tsp sugar

1 tsp seasoned salt

1/2 tsp black pepper

This recipe originates with a cook on a tugboat, thus its colorful name. The vegetables marinate for a long time--this is probably one of the few recipes you have that you must start three days in advance--but the savory results are worth waiting for. Note that infused flavored oils or vinegars also work well in this recipe.

Cut broccoli into bite-size pieces; peel stem and slice into pieces. Combine all vegetables in a covered bowl or large zip-lock bag.

Combine remaining ingredients and pour over vegetables. Stir twice (or turn bag) each day. Serve on the third day.
