Warm Vegetable Salad
(Courtesy: Penny Jacques)
¼ cup broccoli florets, cut into bite-sized pieces
¼ cup cauliflower florets, cut into bite-sized pieces
¼ cup Brussels sprouts, thinly sliced (2 whole)
¼ cup matchstick carrots
1 shallot, thinly sliced
1 tsp dried parsley
1 tsp olive oil
2 tbsp lemon turmeric dressing*
Preheat the oven to 350℉.
Combine vegetable and parsley in a small bowl and toss with olive oil. Spread on a baking sheet in a single layer.
Roast for 10 to 20 minutes, or to desired tenderness. Toss with lemon turmeric dressing and serve immediately.
*Turmeric stains anything it touches so use caution!

Hack: Matchstick carrots can be found in the packaged section of the produce department. Freeze any leftover carrots for use in cooking
Hack: Check the produce department of your local grocery store for pre-cut broccoli and cauliflower florets to avoid having to buy an entire head. Frozen broccoli and cauliflower florets would also work in this recipe.
Hack: Check the produce department for loose Brussels sprouts and shallots. If you don’t see them, ask a clerk if they’re available.
Hack: Shop the salad bar if you just need a small amount of an item that you don’t think you’ll use again before it “goes over”.
Sounds like another yummy recipe that I need to try.
Penny gave it to me so you know it’s gotta be good!!!
I love vegetables and being able
to make a simple recipe is such a good thing.
Honestly, I love mixing different kinds of vegetables together,
because the consistencies are different and the taste too.
So having multiple vegetables can actually make it
a more interesting and fun thing to eat vegetables.
Eating vegetables should not be seen as something negative,
while I may not be a vegan and a meat lover, eating vegetables
is just as important as getting proteins from meat.
Great article, and guide on how to make warm-vegetable salad.
Is it a sin to add cheese or other dairy products to a salad?
Is my only question hehe
A balanced diet is always important no matter what your eating style!! And adding cheese never a sin. Never 😉
I have two methods for warming up a salad. And I think it may be useful to share here. In my first method, I like is to combine the greens and toppings with the unheated dressing in a stainless-steel mixing bowl. And then hold the bowl over a burner and toss the salad until the greens just begin to wilt. For those of you that don’t have a stainless-steel mixing bowl, my second method is to heat the dressing in a pan.
That sounds like a great method for warming greens and dressing. I’ll have to give it a try!
