Friends,
This salad is so easy because you can use a variety of your favorite vegetables.
I chopped the veggies into large pieces, which saves time!
I used a mediterranean theme with a super easy tasty balsamic vinaigrette that can be used as marinade for strawberries, yum!
You can eat it as a side or as a main, over a bowl of greens.
I roasted red potatoes as a twist from brown rice or quinoa but feel free to serve it whatever you like.
Fast, easy and keeps in fridge, this veggie salad has become our new favorite for lunch and I eat it just about every day!
Enjoy,
C
Quick and Easy Mediterranean Salad! Make this now and feel good!
