I gobbled, I wobbled and now it's time for some nutritious, easy vegetarian meals before the next onslaught of rich and decadent deliciousness. Like this Rainbow Vegetable Salad with Honey Lime Dressing

Are you with me? Good!

After the food coma I've just emerged from, this is just what I'm craving. The first time I had this salad was during my recent trip to Scotland where I picked up a salad to eat on the train from Edinburgh to London.

Because after that much great food and whiskey... well, I needed vegetables.... and legumes.. and greens.

And this  Vegetable Salad with Honey Lime Dressing, which is chock full of vegetables, grains, legumes and dressed in a sweet and tart vinaigrette, is just what the doctor ordered.

Sitting on the train, I greedily gobbled it up, and then, like any other self respecting food blogger, I copied down all the ingredients with the plan to re create this salad once I got home. Which I have - a couple of times - tweaking this or that until I was happy with the result.

And it is just as good as I remembered. It's cool, crunchy, sweet, tart and just so darn good - it simply oozes  nutrition and I can  guarantee you'll feel very virtuous about eating this salad.

And at this time of year, we all wish to be a bit  more virtuous, right???

Recipe Notes

The original salad had garbanzo beans and lentils along with the Israeli couscous, but I used Trader Joe's Harvest Grains Blend which has Israeli couscous, orzo, baby garbanzo beans and quinoa. Feel free to substitute whatever legumes/grains you like. That's the beauty of this salad - you can mix and match to your heart's content!
