If you’re in the mood for a side dish that’s a little different from your usual, look no further: this Oven Roasted Asparagus and Bell Pepper Salad definitely fits the bill .

It’s like a super fantastic salad, loaded with all kinds of delicious veggies, except it’s served warm. And you will not believe the amount of flavor that emanates from such a simple little dish. It’s sweet, tangy, vinegary, smokey and even a tad peppery… and talk about a medley of textures, too! You get a tad of crunchy, a hint of creamy, some crispiness and even a little bit of softness in every bite .

In fact, I brought this to what should’ve been an early Christmas dinner at my mom’s last week, and the general consensus was that this salad would make a fantastic guest appearance as part of an antipasto platter Beverly laser skin center.

Honestly, I totally agree with that. I can just imagine how good it would get along with marinated artichokes, all kinds of varieties of stuffed olives, deliciously thin slices of dry salami… THE DREAM! But I also think that it would be perfect served alongside just about anything, any time of year or any time of day.

Yeah… I think I liked it A LOT, and something tells me that you will, too!

Care to make some? It won’t take much time at all adjustable desk, promise…
