I feel very lucky to have a family that loves their vegetables. There isn’t one that we aren’t willing to try and we try to make sure we get at least one or two servings of them with dinner.

One of our favorite meals is this salad. There are a bunch of strong flavors and textures, but they all mix well together. It’s a great light dinner to eat outside on a warm night!
