Roasted Vegetables with Pecans Over Hearty Greens

“When you think salad, do you think boring? Don’t get stuck in a salad rut. Salads are supposed to be healthy, but most folks’ idea of a salad is the same old iceberg lettuce, croutons, and high-fat dressing. Well salads have come a long way. This version of Roasted Vegetables with Pecans over Hearty Greens is not your old-fashioned, humdrum bunch of leafy vegetables. Versatile and flavor-packed, this can be served as salad, over pasta, or as a side dish. Roasting simplifies cooking; just toss it in the oven and forget about it. And you know from the color that you are eating healthy—this salad is a vibrant rainbow of nutrition.” – Holly Clegg
