What are some recipes that requires tons of chopped vegetables?

Hey guys. So my dad went to the doctor earlier this week and they told him at his age, he needs to start eating more vegetables. He's kind of picky about them though. (no squash, eggplant off the top of my head.) Loves mushrooms, green beans, broccoli, carrots, CORN...

Does anyone have any suggestions for a vegetable meal? Or just a side dish to make? I'm open to all ideas because I'm tired of just steaming the veggies.

If there's one thing I've learned from this thread, it's that tomatoes are vegetables.

How do you prefer to wash your produce? I know it depends on the item, but in general. Quick rinse? Thorough rinse and rub down? IDGAF no rinse? Soap??

I make a mix of 50/50 water + white vinegar mixed with the juice of 1 lemon in a spray bottle. Spray every surface and let it sit for a while, then rinse it all off. I sometimes wonder if that is extreme to some. After seeing how people handle stuff though and drop it on the floor, I felt the need to go this way. Somehow gives me peace.

I know a few people who wash everything with dish soap, and that just seems wrong.

What are your thoughts on vegetarian and vegan diets, especially their health effects?

It's scientifically proven that vegetarian/vegan diets are far superior in health to omnivorous diets. Most doctors are just too pussy to go against the grain.
