If you’re anything like me, you’re ready for the holiday eating to be over. And, you’re probably still facing some additional parties and get togethers which can sideline our desire to eat healthy.
Kuel Life contributor, Wendy Hodge offers up this party-ready dish as an alternative to many of the heavier, fattier options out there. I love the colors… they are OF the SEASON.
The sweet potato subs in nicely as a tasty base, and the salsa style topping has a light, fresh dressing.
