Roasted Vegetable Salad

in

Summer’s here, which means a bounty of fresh produce. We love using zucchini and summer squash for this dish, but you can incorporate any vegetables from the farmers’ market. A meal in and of itself, this is especially satisfying when drizzled with our Lemon Garlic Vinaigrette and paired with quinoa or grilled chicken.

This recipe yields 8-10 servings

INGREDIENTS

  • 1 zucchini squash, seeds removed
  • 1 yellow squash, seeds removed
  • 2 carrots
  • 1 red onion
  • 1 bundle of asparagus
  • ½ cauliflower
  • 1 bell pepper, any color
  • 1 small eggplant
  • 4 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1/2 teaspoon sea salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1/4 teaspoon cayenne

Directions

  1. Clean and cut all the vegetables in half.

  3. Roast them on a grill leaving them al dente with a light burn for the best flavor. (See tips for oven roasting.)

TIPS

**Don’t have a barbeque or grill? Roast the vegetables in the oven on 375 degrees fahrenheit for 30 minutes or until desired tenderness. Al dente is recommended.

**Can be eaten as is or paired with a grain such as quinoa.
