Skinnymixer’s Seasonal Greens features in the Sides & Salads section of the cookbook SkinnyMediterranean.
The Seasonal Greens is a cookbook exclusive recipe…
Mediterranean-inspired green vegetables with garlic, lemon, and olive oil — light, vibrant, and the perfect side for just about anything. Most importantly, I strongly encourage you to use whatever green vegetables are in season.
What vegetables do I mean when I say “in season”?
Have I studied what vegetables are in season and when? Absolutely not!
But I will 100% be buying whatever vegetables are on special at the local fruit and vegetable shop or supermarket or in abundance at the local fruit markets. So if you see some zucchinis, broccoli or green beans on special – grab some and create your own ‘Seasonal Greens’ combo.
This recipe was developed to be an easy, go-to recipe for you to add some flavour to a simple side dish.
You never know, the kids might actually eat all their vegetables with no complaints!
