roasted veggie salad
I went to the grocery store and all the veggies looked good today. So I bought a little of everything and this is what I did with it. This came out so good and it is a great meal for a summer day or any day. Try grilling the veggies instead of roasting them in the oven. The hot vegetables wilt the spinach just a little to make it yummy.

What a wonderful roasted veggie salad for summer. It's filled with tons of fresh produce like beets, zucchini, summer squash, fresh asparagus, and more. Once roasted, the veggies are tender yet crispy. This salad will be delicious alongside grilled meat, poultry, and fish. An easy way to cook summer veggies.

How To Make roasted veggie salad
-
Step 1Preheat the oven to 450 degrees. Clean the beets with a brush and place them on foil. Coat the beets with 1 tsp of good olive oil (or grapeseed oil). Add a little extra oil if you want to make your own beet salad dressing. You can use the beet-infused oil in your dressing. Add 1 tsp salt and wrap in foil like you would a baked potato.
-
Step 2Put in the oven until fork-tender; about an hour.
-
Step 3While the beets are cooking destem and wash the spinach.
-
Step 4Cut all the vegetables to about the same size.
-
Step 5Toss the vegetables minus the spinach with the remaining 1/4 cup oil olive or grapeseed oil (just enough to give them a sheen). Now, toss with lemon pepper seasoning and the remaining 1 tsp of salt then spread on a baking sheet.
-
Step 6After the beets come out, put in the vegetables and roast to your liking until they have a nice color and are crisp-tender.
-
Step 7Spread the spinach in a thin layer on a plate.
-
Step 8Top with the roasted vegetables.
-
Step 9Slice the beets and top the salad last so everything doesn't turn red.
-
Step 10Top with dressing and enjoy.
