Sunday Afternoon Salad

I usually prepare my meals early in the morning especially when I am hosting fitness guests.   Planning ahead just makes it so much easier.  Today I steamed some fresh vegetables from the farmers market.   I added baby carrots, fresh string beans and some boiled red potatoes.

Eating vegetables often doesn't have to be boring.  I always try to be creative!  So today I threw this together.  You can add any vegetable you like, but I wanted to keep it simple today.  I seasoned with a little sea salt, ground black pepper, fresh garlic, fresh chopped parsley and drizzled it with extra virgin olive oil, served at room temperature.  Be sure not to overcook the vegetables, just until the colors pop, that usually means they are done.

You can enjoy as a vegetarian meal or pair with some fish, chicken or beef. The choice is yours.

Bon Appétit!
