This is a great side dish, although sometimes I prefer that it be an entree. A great way to do this is to put it over a bed of leafy greens and then top it off with cooked lentils. Sometimes I also like to add some more balsamic vinegar or balsamic vinaigrette as the dressing. These flavors work so well together and this meal is loaded with so many different kinds of plants so it is micronutrient packed!
