I didn't follow the exact recipe, but guess what, that is ok. Recipes are just a guide...you don't have to do EXACTLY what they say. Baking is a little less forgiving of tweaks...but that is why I don't bake :) Preheat your oven to 450 and lets go!
You will need some lettuce, yogurt, garlic, veggies to roast, olive oil and vinegar.
I roasted up some sweet potato, red onion and sweet peppers. You can roast whatever you have on hand. Chop them pretty evenly, throw them in a bowl with some olive oil, salt and pepper and give them a toss. Lay them out in a single layer on a rimmed baking/cookie sheet and get them in the oven. Let them roast for as long as you want, these took about 40 minutes. I like mine really roasted.
Yummy sweet and savory goodness.
Now all you have to do is make the dressing and you are ready to eat.
This was refreshing and filling and had so many fun textures, colors and flavors. If you are not a fan of hot and cold or sweet and savory this probably wouldn't be for you, but I loved it.
I can't tell you how good this looks. I've been working with sweets and something so deliciously savory would be wonderful now :-). I hope you have a great weekend. Blessings...Mary

This looks so colorful and delicious :) And nothing beats homemade dressing to me!
ReplyDeleteI definitely prefer homemade dressing, I like mine extra vinegary :)
DeleteI'd be happy eating these roasted veggies only, but never thought of eating with salad! I LOVE that idea!
ReplyDeleteIt was definitely new for me too, but I will be doing it more often, I want to try it with spinach leaves next time.
