Roasted Salad Towers

Roasted Salad Towers

I’m all for chowing down on a fresh salad at any time of the day, but when the temperature drops and no amount of hot showers can warm me up, I’d rather drown myself in a warm bowl of veggies and an afternoon nap than chill out with a bowl of fresh veggies.
