Root Vegetables

Carrot Vinaigrette

Method

Roasting Vegetables

  1. 1

    Prepare the Root Vegetables

    Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Peel and chop the carrots, parsnips, and sweet potatoes into evenly sized pieces.

  2. 2

    Roast the Vegetables

    Spread the chopped root vegetables on a baking sheet, drizzle with olive oil, and season with salt and pepper. Roast in the oven for 25-30 minutes or until tender and lightly caramelized.

Preparing the Salad

  1. 3

    Chop the Salad Ingredients

    While the vegetables are roasting, thinly slice the red cabbage and red onion. Add the winter greens to a large salad bowl.

  2. 4

    Combine Ingredients

    Once the root vegetables are done roasting, allow them to cool slightly, then add them to the salad bowl with the cabbage, onion, and greens.

Making the Vinaigrette

  1. 5

    Blend the Vinaigrette

    In a blender, combine the carrot, olive oil, apple cider vinegar, honey, salt, and pepper. Blend until smooth.

  2. 6

    Dress the Salad

    Drizzle the carrot vinaigrette over the salad and toss gently to combine. Serve immediately.
