EVERYTHING BUT THE KITCHEN SINK SALAD
This salad is a permanent feature on our menu. It starts with simple greens, then is topped with a selection of market vegetables, three balls, and the sauce of your choice. When topped with veggie balls, it's a serious vegetarian meal, but you can also top it with any ball you'd like (heat up your balls in the microwave for a minute or two to take the chill off). Ladle on your favorite warm sauce in place of the expected dressing.

- Combine the mushrooms, asparagus, romaine, fennel, and vinaigrette in a large mixing bowl and toss to coat. Transfer to a serving platter and top with warm balls.

Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
- In a large bowl, whisk together grapeseed oil, salt and pepper, to taste. Add the squash, carrots, onions, garlic and potatoes, tossing to coat. Put the coated vegetables on a sheet pan, and roast until the onions are translucent, about 20 to 25 minutes.
- Meanwhile, in large stock pot, over medium heat add the stock, beans, bay leaf, thyme, and cook for 10 minutes, stirring occasionally. With a hand blender pulse stock and bean mixture until the beans are slightly pureed. Remove the vegetables from oven and add to pot, then stir in the broccoli and tomatoes. Cook until all the vegetables are cooked through, about 30 to 35 minutes.

Tips:
- Choose a variety of fresh, colorful vegetables. The more colorful your salad, the more nutrients it will contain. Aim for a mix of leafy greens, crunchy vegetables, and juicy fruits.
- Add a protein source. This will help to make your salad more filling and satisfying. Some good options include grilled chicken, tofu, beans, or nuts.
- Use a light dressing. A heavy dressing will weigh down your salad and make it less healthy. Opt for a simple vinaigrette or lemon-tahini dressing instead.
- Don't be afraid to experiment. There are endless possibilities when it comes to making a salad. Try different combinations of vegetables, fruits, proteins, and dressings to find your favorite recipe.

The everything-but-the-kitchen-sink salad is a delicious and healthy way to get your daily dose of fruits and vegetables. It's also a great way to use up leftover ingredients. So next time you're looking for a quick and easy meal, give this salad a try.
