Welcome back to Recipe Swap Friday! I’m loving all these veggie recipes you guys are sharing (especially those veggie dishes that could actually be dessert–yum!)
If you weren’t here last week, we’re giving a nod to healthy-eating in the new year by sharing our favorite veggie recipes. You can link up to your favorite veggie recipe below, either on your blog or in your Plan to Eat account. If linking up to your Plan to Eat account, just cut and paste the url from the recipe in your recipe book.
Hope you guys brought lots more recipes to share! Here’s mine for the week:
Now isn’t that a cheerful salad for a bleak, midwinter dinner table? This salad was a huge hit at our house, with kiddos and grown ups alike. A few of the little ones took issue with the mint in the salad (which I loved) so I guess we’ll leave that out of the next batch.
Once I quit grumbling over having to pull out my food processor, this salad came together in a jiffy. I grated two Granny Smith apples and four carrots. I didn’t really measure the quantity of my carrots and apples, just threw everything in the processor into a mixing bowl, so I think I may have ended up with more veg than the recipe calls for. Even so, this salad was a real winner.
Definitely use fresh lemon and orange juice. The flavors are so much brighter and fresher. And leave out the mint if you’ll be serving sensitive palates.
For those who are following along with our cookbook tour this recipe comes from a companion book to the More with Less cookbook. The recipes in this book have the simplicity of More with Less but use fresh, seasonal ingredients. I’ve been cooking from it for a few years and have found some real winners that I turn to again and again.
Carrot Apple Salad
Kiddos didn’t care for the mint. Only make as much as can be eaten that day, doesn’t keep well.

How to Get Your Dish Onto the Goodie Table:
I really want this to be easy and accessible to everyone, so leave me a comment if you have trouble. I’ll do my best to help you out. It’s a little bit harder than just setting a bowl of veg on the table, but I promise it’s pretty easy.
