My husband and I have been doing a low carb diet. For me I am doing more of the Paleo style diet. It gets hard though because I get bored easily. We are trying to incorporate a lot more vegetables in our diets. I took what I had in the refrigerator and made a vegetable medley, I have never made this before. Just thew it all together as I went.

Prep Time
15 min
Ingredients
- 1/2 Zucchini Squash
- 1 Large Red Pepper
- 1 Cup Broccoli
- 1 Large Onion
- 2 Cloves of Garlic
- 4 Large Carrots
- Salt & Pepper
Instructions
- Always wash vegetables prior to use. I use a fruit and veggie cleaner I get from Trader Joes. Once everything is clean then dice up the peppers, onion, garlic and carrots. For the broccoli I just cut into smaller chunks.
- I use my rice cooker to steam my vegetables. Place all the vegetables in the steamer and allow to fully cook until softened. Once everything is cooked salt and pepper to season.

You can serve it so many ways. I actually ate mine over a salad. Other ways could be to add it to pasta or even make taco’s! How do you like your vegetables?

Yum – this looks tasty! Veggie are in season here so this would be a great time to give this a try. I might even pack up some for the freezer using fresh veggies from the garden.
It’s fresh veggie season here for another month or so, too.
We are a big veggie family, so I am sure this would be a big hit in our house.
My husband is doing the Paleo thing, I will have to get more creative like this!
I have a veggie steamer that I use a LOT in the summer! Thanks for the recipe!
That looks so good. I love a side dish that’s tasty and healthy. Winner, winner.
This looks like an easy way to pack extra nutrients into our diet. My family will love it.
My favorite kinds of dishes to eat. Raw is my fave, but i like them steamed like this too.
This sounds like a pretty simple recipe and it is good for you. Win! Thanks for this.
If I made this, I’d probably eat it for every meal! I love zucchini but hardly ever make it, not sure why.
Looks delicious! YUM!
That looks so simple and delicious!! Going to try this!
I an going to try this as well. It looks so good.
This sounds really delicious. I’m also doing low-carb and struggle to get my veggies in, but this looks like an easy and simple way to do so. Thanks for sharing 🙂
I am paleo and often forget the veggies. I need to plan better.
Your medley looks delicious. I love that it’s easy to customize according to flavors and serving sizes (according to how many people are there).
I always struggle to get enough veggies in! This looks like the perfect summer dish! I’d love to try it over a salad!
We are a huge veggie family and this sounds amazing… Thanks for sharing. I will clip for later.
I’m trying to eat more veggies. That looks like a great way to get them into my diet!
I am not on a diet, but that looks good. I have a steamer that I love.
YUM! I like the veggie salad so bad! Looks really good in your picture. I usually add peanuts and dried cranberries! Give it a try for a tasty vegetables salad!
This looks yummy! My kids aren’t big on veggies but me and hubby are so this would be nice and easy to make us.
This is a veggie medley the husband would love! He is crazy about his veggies!
I’d love that over a bit of rice. I’d also like it on a salad, like you said!
This looks delicious!! I love cooking my veggies in a rice cooker, too!!
This recipe looks great! I haven’t cut out carbs but I am trying to eat more veggies.
This looks really good! I am not doing low carb, but I try to eat a lot of veggies instead of filling up on carbs.
Veggies are at the top of our list for dinner ideas these days. Our garden is overflowing!
My mom recently made a veggie dish where she cut up the veggies very small. It was so good and the flavors mixed well together.
Thats a nice medley! Looks very nutritious.
That looks good. Hurray to you two for eating healthy and sticking with this!
I roast a big batch of veggies a few times a week- I use them to top pasta and chicken and make a really simple sauce for them. SO easy and SO good!
Yum, I love all those ingredients. Looks like a nice and light dish. Thanks for sharing,
This looks delicious! My family and I are trying to eat less and less meat, and this would be a great meal for us!
We are trying to eat less meat too! It is hard sometimes, but getting easier overall.
My daughter and I love veggies and I think she would really enjoy this. She is crazy for broccoli and always open to trying new things!
I am a vegetarian and I think this recipe is going to be a new go to for me
That looks like an amazing combination! I love how bright and colorful it is!
Can’t wait to try this!
This sounds like a great recipe. I love low carb diets because they work for me but they are so hard to follow. I love bread and wish that bread didn’t have carbs. 🙂
I enjoy cooking veggies like this in my wok. I like them with a little crisp.
Mmm, that sounds good. I need a Wok.
This looks awesome for summer veggies.
That looks so light, delicious, and healthy! YUM!
It really looks delicious, I would so want to put olives in it because it looks like pasta salad minus the pasta!
This sounds like a tasty recipe. I’m always looking for ways to get in more veggies, and this looks like a good recipe to try.
It would be great with salad or pasta! What a great idea!
I need a wok. This would be soooo good mixed with quinoa and teriyaki sauce!
Looks simple and tasty, but sadly my kids would still fuss and fume if I offered this to them. We are working SO HARD at eating our veggies!
So simple, but very tasty. I love to keep my veggie recipes very simple and let the fresh taste shine through. I will be giving this one a try.
My mom always does a lot of her veggies like this and they turn out great. She will put in mild peppers and all kinds of things and occasionally a jalapeno to spice it up a bit. Yours looks great
That veggie medley looks really good. I am trying to eat healthier. Thanks for the recipe!
