Veggie & Barley Bowl
A great Meatless Monday dish or anytime! A great recipe to use up your fresh garden veggies and Farmer's Market finds! I love all the veggies used in this dish with zucchini being my favorite! They work well together on the taste buds! Delicious!
The Chili Lime Vinaigrette is soooooo good and simple! It is drinkable straight from the blender!
This was my first time ever making something with chipotle peppers in adobo sauce and it won't be my last! I was always afraid it would be to spicy but I was wrong! Scraping the seeds from the middle of the pepper was key! Perfect!The Chipotle Lime Vinaigrette jazzes up the veggies and barley and tastes so good! It's the perfect vinaigrette for chicken, salad, veggies and I'm sure I'll find out more things the more I make it and that's a given that I'm making it again! You will want to pour it on instead of drizzle! I'm going to double the vinaigrette next time and there will be a next time and many more! I have fallen in love with chipotle peppers in adobo sauce! Yum!
YAY to summertime and fresh veggies!
