Warm mixed vegetable salad

     Yesterday was really in no mood to cook after a whole evening of shopping, but the look of fresh broccoli always inspires me to do something.I ended up with a nice warm salad of all that was there in the fridge and to fill up the gaps of "just salad" ,served the family with penne with a new pesto that I picked up from the supermarket.The family happily ate up and I was glad  that I was able to feed them all the vegetables.Added the protein in the form of tofu too.Here is a quick fix salad.
