So often, I forget how much flavor and satisfaction veggies can provide simply by themselves, without the frills and thrills of other added ingredients! It certainly doesn’t hurt that fewer ingredients makes a recipe much easier too! 🙂
This thought of “simply veggies” inspired my lunch today. I decided to just throw together a hodgepodge of different veggies to make a salad, and top it with a drizzle of olive oil, a splash of lemon juice, and a sprinkle of sea salt. Oh, and I added a bit of goat cheese (I can’t help it, I’m addicted! 😉 ). It was SO yummy! I will list the ingredients I used, but really, you can use any veggies you want. The bigger the variety of veggies, the bigger the variety of flavors and nutrients, making for a really fun, nutritious, and delicious meal!
