4 stalks fresh broccoli

2 tsp. dry mustard
1 small onion, grated
8 large fresh mushrooms, sliced
3 stalks celery, chopped
1/2 c. oil
3/4 c. sugar
1 Tbsp. poppy seed (optional)

Remove florets from broccoli and cut into bite sized (don't use stalks).
Combine broccoli, cauliflower, mushrooms, celery and green peppers; toss lightly.
Combine remaining ingredients.
Mix well and pour over vegetables.
Chill at least 3 hours.
