This salad is simple to clean up because it is all cooked in one pan in the oven. It is also a light meal because it is full of veggies. I served with sliced bread to scoop up the juices of this salad because they are delicious. It is a meal in itself therefore nothing more to add with it. Well maybe a beer or a glass of vino.
