One of my favorite meals does not have a recipe. I guess you could call it a mashup. We think about all the basic colors of plant foods: Red, Green, Yellow, Orange, Purple and then think about what flavors and textures we want. Then we start taking inventory in the vegetable bin and get to work slicing things into shapes and sizes that will mix well together.

It’s funny, but this kind of food preparation will undoubtedly appeal to a few, but will also drive some people nuts. Well, if you like recipes, here are a few favorites. Meanwhile if you like to walk on the wild side now and again, try this! Just start thinking about colors and tastes and shapes. Use what you know from other recipes and mashup some veggie coolness! What have you got to lose? You might just find a new favorite dish.
