Meltaway Salad

This kind of salad — including various root vegetables — has the diversity necessary to give a depth of flavor, and you need that if you’re going to eat it for both lunch and dinner.  With a small side of protein it’s healthy and filling.  I can eat second helpings, and the pounds just melt away.  I make a big bowl that lasts two of us three or four days.  I add just enough olive oil when I first toss it to lightly coat the ingredients, which helps keep them fresh.
