This is easy and tastes like the green beans at the chinese food restaurant. Try substituing or adding other vegetables for a change-up!

These bite-sized morsels are so savory and juicy they will explode in your mouth. Roasting them adds a depth and richness that transforms ordinary cooked vegetables into something elegant.

Tired of the same green leafy salad?

Filled with Potassium, and Vitamins A and C, this salad is an excellent lunch paired with yogurt or as a side dish for dinner. This is a good dish to bring to potluck gatherings and will always be a hit!

This is from the South Beach diet and is a very healthy low calorie way to stay away from starchy potatoes and it tastes pretty darn good plus it's fast!

A delicious salad that brings together many flavors.

The tasty combination of spinach and pears will keep you away from boring salads forever.

I found this recipe on recipezaar.com, but it was a higher fat and calorie version. The original recipe was posted by Tish and it's Baked Sweet Potato recipe #55678 on 'Zaar. Anyway, I had to make some significant substitutions to make the fat and calorie counts more diet friendly. It worked and this turned out fantastic! We served this with lean country style pork ribs and they were amazingly good. I think this would also pair well with Salmon.

This recipe sings of the fall and early winter harvest. Take advantage of the local farmers market and buy whatever root vegetables they have. I like a bite to the vegetables, so I drizzle a small amount of balsamic vinegar over the vegetables while they are still hot.
This side dish is quite affordable: about 60 cents a serving for the vegetables!

A Colorful, Healthy Summer Vegetable Salad

Submitted by COREYLOVE

A nice summer salad that is a great dish to bring to an outdoor party... or to eat any time of the year. This recipe was modified from a full fat version and it tastes quite nice without that extra fat! The original recipe also called for baby spinach but not everyone likes spinach (like my dad). The original recipe was given to me by a family friend.

This salad goes really well with my maple cider dressing (which I entered separately). It's a great fall treat. Use white cheddar cheese, if you can find it, for a really nice flavor!
