Tips:
- Use a variety of vegetables. This will give your salad a more interesting flavor and texture. Some good options include tomatoes, cucumbers, carrots, celery, broccoli, and cauliflower.
- Cut the vegetables into uniform pieces. This will help them cook evenly.
- Don't overcook the vegetables. They should be tender but still slightly crunchy.
- Season the vegetables with salt and pepper to taste. You can also add other herbs and spices, such as garlic powder, onion powder, or dried thyme.
- Layer the vegetables in a serving dish. Start with the heaviest vegetables on the bottom and the lightest vegetables on top.
- Drizzle the vegetables with a vinaigrette dressing. This will add flavor and moisture to the salad.
- Chill the salad for at least 30 minutes before serving. This will allow the flavors to meld.
