Winter Vegetable Medley With A Side of Meat Balls

This is a a wonderful colorful medley of purple, white, green, light green, orange. It is composed of crunchy and softer type of vegetables simply steamed, then mixed and dressed together. All the vegetables’ natural tastes keep their strength while complementing each other, and so does their combined textures. The simple dressing does not overly cover their tastes, just acts as a subtle link between them. And the family is in awe! It is so wonderful with a side of meat balls!
