Dressed Cooked Vegetables.

Eat them hot, at room temperature, or chilled—as you like. If you don’t have any leftover plain cooked vegetables, make a batch of steamed vegetables. Drain well. The formula here dresses 6 cups, so do the math accordingly. Or make Vinaigrette and drizzle or toss the vegetables with some of that.
