Bob Harper Follows Vegetarian Diet

The Biggest Loser trainer Bob Harper is one mean machine while at the gym as he whips those contestants into shape. He’s got a strong and lean body and he credits it to not only exercise but because he’s also a vegetarian. This week he told People Magazine about his commitment to cooking vegetarian meals and he even shared a scrumptious veggie salad recipe with the readers. He explained that often times people ask him that because he’s a vegetarian does he have limited cooking options? He replied,

“My answer is no way! There are so many great recipes out there to choose from, and I also love to experiment with different vegetables and grains. Guests are always surprised when they come over for dinner and I whip up pasta.”

He went on to mention that when working in the kitchen with the Biggest Loser contestants he encourages them to give those old favorites a nutritious twist. In addition, he tells people to go to the produce section at the market and try an unfamiliar vegetable and get creative with it in the kitchen.

Here’s his recipe for Roasted Vegetable Salad with Vinaigrette Dressing:
• 8 small carrots, sliced into rounds
• 6 small zucchini, sliced into rounds
• 1 red bell pepper, seeded and sliced into strips
• 1 yellow bell pepper, seeded and sliced into strips
• 3 squash, sliced into rounds
• 1 (15.5-oz.) can chickpeas
• Salt and pepper to taste
• 3 heads romaine lettuce, washed and torn into small pieces
• 1 cup cucumbers, sliced
• 2 ripe red tomatoes, sliced
• Vinaigrette dressing of your choice

1. Preheat oven to 425º
2. Toss together carrots, zucchini, peppers, yellow squash and chickpeas on a large sheet pan. Sprinkle with salt and pepper and lightly spray with olive oil. Roast for 30 to 35 minutes, stirring once. Let cool.
3. In a large bowl, combine lettuce, cucumber and tomatoes. Add grilled vegetables and toss with dressing.
