Warm Root Veggie Salad

This is one of my most requested recipes! It is corn, gluten, dairy, soy, wheat free! And not bad tasting (I've even had beet haters say this was good) I cannot take credit for this yummy creation - recipe courtesy of Deb McCleave!

In the mean time prepare the salad dressing -

1/4 C. Olive Oil

1/4 C. Balsamic Vinegar (we like Trader Joes)
