Vibrant Veggie Vortex + Dazzling Dijon Dressing

They say the more colors on your plate, the more likely you'll be able to curb overeating. Or maybe they don't; but it's sure pretty to look at a spectrum of vibrant fruits and veggies and definitely slows me down when it comes to digging in.


So bye bye simple crudités and dip. This simple salad is way easier to assemble than it looks. Just slice, dice and arrange everything on a plate to your heart's desire...and to emulate that way-too-perfect food blogger on instagram who always annoys you with food arrangements so pretty you don't understand how anyone's life can be so perfect (pro-tip: It probably took them 45 minutes to assemble everything, and by the time they get to eating that warm stack of vegan chocolate chip banana nut pancakes, they are cold.)



To quote Taylor Swift, This. Dressing. Is. Sick. Mix two parts olive oil, to one part balsamic vinegar, a teaspoon of nutritional yeast flakes and red chile pepper flakes and sea salt together. Transforms any blah "using up leftover veggies" salad into BOOM! Seriously.

Ingredients:
Whatever leftover veggies and fruits you have on hand

Directions:

Arrange prettily on plate and as symmetrically as possible. Try and remember to buy enough lettuce next time. Drizzle dressing on top. Pair with copious amount of crusty  French baguette.
