Chili Lime Roasted Shrimp and Vegetable Salad

January is salad month!  Well, maybe not officially, but isn't it funny how so many people go from the sweet treats and indulgences of Christmas to doing a complete diet overhaul once the New Year starts?  I think we're all ready to eat a few extra vegetables as we come down from our sugar highs, and this salad is a 30 minute dinner idea that'll fill your belly with colorful, wholesome goodness.

Salads do not have to be boring and they don't have to leave you wanting to go pantry-diving for something more satisfying.  This roasted vegetable and shrimp salad is loaded with protein from the shrimp and so much flavor from all of the hearty roasted vegetables.

You won't be hungry or bored with this salad, trust me.

You can get 2 restaurant-sized large salads from this recipe, or you can pare it down into smaller portions if you're serving it as a side dish.  Enjoy!
