Today, I’m going back to my roots… my vegetable roots that is. This dish has it all – beets, sweet potatoes, celery root, parsnips and carrots topped with a tangy dressing, walnuts, and feta. It would be hard to hate that mix, am-i-right?
With each passing year, I find myself growing more and more fond of vegetables. Therefore, dishes full of nothing but veggie goodness speak to my soul, my veggie loving soul. I ate this for lunch, dinner, lunch and then dinner again. In conclusion, I liked this dish.
