Add this Versatile Side Dish to your weekly meal prep

This roasted vegetable salad recipe is incredibly versatile. You can make it whatever you want it to be!

Follow the ingredients exactly or change the vegetables up with whatever you have on hand. It’s great as a side dish, a meal prep dish, or even the main event if you’re in need of a whole lot of vegetables.

This roast vegetable salad can even be brought to a potluck. Serve it at room temperature or chilled. My favorite way to serve it is on top of some lettuce alongside some chicken.

Kitchen Tools

• Baking sheet
• Measuring spoons
• Large chef’s knife
• Vegetable peeler
• Cutting board
• Whisk
• Small mixing bowl
• Large serving bowl, optional

Serving Suggestions

Roasted vegetable salad can be a side dish to whatever protein you desire most. It’d be great with roasted chicken, salmon cooked nearly any way (search my site for “salmon” for great ideas!), pork tenderloin, or whatever other proteins you like to make.

This recipe can even be the main event for any vegetarians out there. Serve it as is or add some tofu to it to round it out – the options are endless!

Sometimes potlucks are lacking in the vegetable department, so you could really be the star of health by bringing this veggie loaded *but still delicious* recipe to your next potluck. I’m pro-comfort food at a potluck, but we have to get our fiber in there somewhere!

Roasted Vegetable Salad Ingredients

• Large sweet potato
• Broccoli florets
• Bell pepper
• Onion
• Olive oil
• Salt
• Mini mozzarella balls (or a large ball cut up)
• Red wine vinegar
• Fresh parsley
• Whole grain mustard
• Black pepper

Ingredient Substitutions

Of course you can use any vegetables you want or have on hand. If you can’t have onion for whatever reason, feel free to leave it out. You could also use a sweet onion or red onion instead.

Same goes for any of the roasted veggies. Trade out the sweet potato for a russet potato or butternut squash. Swap the broccoli for cauliflower or brussels sprouts

Even keep the broccoli and add cauliflower if you want! While I give specific vegetables for my recipe, please feel free to use whatever your heart desires.

The cheese can also be swapped for your favorite cheese like cheddar, goat cheese, Colby jack or whatever cheese you like best. You can leave it out entirely to make this vegan or lactose free.

If you don’t have fresh parsley, try basil, oregano, or thyme! You can even use a combination of herbs to make it extra herby.

I know some people do not like mustard, so feel free to leave it out. The mustard adds lovely depth and zest to the veggie salad.

How to make Roasted Vegetable Salad

Step 1: Prepare the ingredients

To begin, preheat the oven to 425 degrees F. Then, line a large baking sheet with parchment paper.

Next, peel the sweet potato and cut into 3/4 inch cubes. Dice the bell pepper and onion into 3/4 inch pieces.

Cut any large broccoli florets to roughly match the size of the other vegetables.

Step 2: Roast the Vegetables

Then, arrange the vegetables on the lined baking sheet and toss in olive oil and kosher salt. Bake for 40 minutes, tossing once after 20 minutes.

Remove from the oven and allow to cool completely.

Step 3: Toss with Aromatics

Then, whisk together olive oil, red wine vinegar, chopped fresh parsley, mustard, and black pepper. Pour veggies in a large bowl and toss to combine.

Pour the dressing over the vegetables and add mix in the mozzarella balls. Finally, serve at room temperature or chilled.

Storage

Store in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 4 days. Serve chilled or at room temperature.
