Let me describe this healthy, delicious lunch or dinner bowl to you using flavors and textures:
Crispy polenta, warm, fragrant vegetables, sweet tomatoes, salty Mexican cheese, herbaceous basil sauce…can you taste it? Are you sold yet? Did you just go to the kitchen to get a fork?
A better-for-you vegetarian bowl starring roasted veggies and some of my beloved cheese can be the answer to a Meatless Monday or any day you want a satisfying meal that isn’t the same old, same old.
It’s also a great way to use up the vegetables you bought at the farmers market. I also relied on a handy prepared tube of polenta, to make dinner go even faster.
Close your eyes and sniff. The texture, the flavors…I promise you won’t even miss the meat.

I really like seeing recipes that are specific for vegetarians. Your recipes is so amazing and I love Cacique! It is one of my favorite cheeses to use in any recipe.
Healing Tomato,
Thank you for the nice compliment! I do hope you try it, and I agree with you completely about Cacique. Those cheeses are versatile and wonderful tasting! Have you tried the Oaxaca cheese?
This sounds amazing! I love polenta and your preparation with all the veggies sounds incredible!
I love how colorful and creative this salad looks. I’ve never been a fan of polenta, but crispy begins to sound enticing. Pairing it with a cheese I’m not familiar with makes me even more curious. Pinned!
Laura,
You might want to try that cheese. I have found it extremely versatile! And yes, crisping up the polenta changes the character a LOT! So if you don’t like the soft kind, crisp it.
I am definitely craving fresh vegetables now!!
A lovely recipe to warm my vegetarian heart! I have never had polenta before but I have always wanted to try it.
Kacey,
