zucchini radish salad

roasted broccoli and smashed root veggies
This vegan take on a winter staple takes advantage of fresh broccoli that grows well through our NC winters and is flexible enough to go with any root veggie. This dish is full of texture and flavor. Root vegetables make it filling enough to be a main dish of it’s own right. Using cashew “cheese” instead of parmesan makes it fully vegan. If you eat meat or dairy you can mash the roots traditionally with cheese or butter and eat this as a side dish for any savory or sweet meat dish.
