Healthy 8 Chopped Veggie Mix Recipes

You know, Trader Joe's should start paying me to advertise their products. My husband came home recently from a Trader Joe's shopping excursion with a package of 'Healthy 8 Chopped Veggie Mix'. Therefore, allow me to state for the record that this is in fact another Trader Joe's copycat food item. Description on the package: "For salads, sauteeing, or anytime you need fresh veggies." My suggestions in addition: soups, tacos/tostadas and many other Mexican dishes, loaded baked potatoes, wraps, garden veggie juice, etc. I think of this as a deluxe version of mirepoix, except it's easier to spell and the onions decided to take a permanent vacation back to the Languedoc region of France. Make as big of a batch as you want as long as the proportions are equal and the mixture is eaten within a reasonable amount of time before it spoils (the food.com site requires me to type in an amount but the batch can be reduced of course). Not sure about freezing the mixture though...? Use fresh ingredients and don't be tempted to use up those yucky veggies molding in the back of the fridge.

My husband's aunt gave me this recipe back in the '80s, and it's been a staple at our house ever since. I like to make it a day ahead because some time in the fridge makes it even better. Be sure to save yourself some leftovers, too. -Madeline Etzkorn, Burien, Washington
