A colorful Greek salad with roasted brussels sprouts, butternut squash, olives, tomatoes, and feta cheese. Top with a simple vinaigrette.
You know the popular candy ad – “eat the rainbow”? Well, today I am going to show you a healthy way to eat the rainbow! Sometimes, when I am putting together my salads, I try to see if I can include all the colors of the rainbow. (I know, I’m a nerd!) Not only does all that color make the salad more fun to eat, but also packs a ton of healthy antioxidants.
The other day, I saw this delicious Greek salad with broccoli and sun-dried tomatoes on Cookie and Kate’s blog. I seriously couldn’t stop thinking about it until I had created a similar one at home! I made sure to save a few leftover roasted Brussels sprouts and butternut squash to use as toppings. I then tossed in some sliced olives, tomatoes, and feta cheese. Mmm…
Who needs fake colored candies when you can eat the rainbow naturally?! Dig in!
