This roasted vegetable salad uses in season summer vegetables tossed with feta and basil for a refreshing healthy meal.
Sometimes simple is good.
Ring dips and handstand pushups.
Switching car insurance over the phone in less than 2 minutes.
Having a potential new client come to you instead of having to chase them.
And a roasted summer vegetable salad for lunch.
I could eat this for lunch for the rest of the summer and be blissfully happy.
In season roasted tomatoes are quite possibly the best summer taste on this earth.
Crispy, candy like beets are a close second.
Throw them on a bed of spinach, top it with feta and sliced basil and I’ll physically hurt you if you try to make me share.
Lunch. Simplified.
