by Leave a Comment

Lemon, oil, and garlic are a great spices to add to make veggies taste great, but have you tried lime on veggies? The bitter taste of lime pairs very nicely with the veggies and garlic in this dish. It is a nice side for a meal or even as a snack.

Watermelon Beet Garlic Salad

Having veggies chopped and prepped is helpful for a last minute meal idea. Today I had some leftover beets that I roasted the night before. I chopped the beets and threw them together with some other vegetables to make a quick salad in less than 30 minutes! I topped it off with some cut up watermelon for a cool and refreshing sweetness that will offset the spicy dressing featuring Wildtree Garlic Galore. If you want to add a little protein you can top it with beans, grilled chicken or hemp seeds to get some extra protein.

Balsamic Garlic Asparagus

by

Spring is in the air and that means that asparagus is in season! This is one of my favorite veggies. There is just something so yummy about these little stalks. Not only do they provide an abundance of vitamins and minerals like vitamins A, C, E, K, and B6, as well as folate, iron, copper, calcium, protein, and fiber. I always say the key to liking vegetables is to learn how to spice them to taste great! Often people grow up with boiled blah veggies and never learn to appreciate how good they can taste. One way to give your asparagus some taste is by adding balsamic vinegar. This is such a versatile food.  You can have it raw as a dressing on a salad or use it as a marinade and grill or bake it.

This particular recipe I baked in the oven but if it is nice enough to grill out you can throw these little greenies on the grill and make a nice veggie dish. The best thing about this dish is it is super simple to make and only has three ingredients. Grab some asparagus and try it tonight
