I'm an avid vegetable lover and I'm grateful that my family loves veggies, too. My little one is even always asking for cucumbers, celery or carrots in her lunches.

We love adding pickled red onions to salads, smothered burritos and egg sandwiches. No Sunday dinner is complete without a crunchy green salad.

Basically, more is more when it comes to vegetables in our house, which is why I am always looking for unique vegetable side dishes to try out on my family.
