Embrace The Evil Veggies

After devouring that greasy-in-a-good-way soufflĂ© and those sinfully delicious chocolate-filled doughnuts on the same weekend, we were definitely in need of something a little lighter. I have to say that I LOVE this recipe! It’s simple, tasty, healthy, and it even got Robin over his fear of zucchini. Mostly.

Check out these ingredients:



You can probably see why Robin wasn’t too excited to dive into this one at first, but he was willing to be adventurous, and the avocadoes helped a lot. First we chopped, seasoned, and roasted the peppers and zucchini



Then we decided that we might need to invest in a bigger roasting tray. Luckily, we had the classiest of red punch bowls at our disposal.



Those lentils were boiled in broth and then we combined them with the roasted veggies and tossed in sundried tomatoes, avocadoes, basil, chives, and lemon juice.



I knew I would like this salad but I was shocked to see Robin going back for seconds before I had even finished mine! Needless to say, this is a dish worth repeating. In fact, I’m in Denver for work and have been eating out every day, so this is just the kind of fresh, healthy meal I’m craving right now.



Over and out from Denver. Robin’s up next with soda bread!
