Roasted Vegetable Salad with Lemon Tahini Dressing

This roasted vegetable salad with glazed vegetables, chickpeas and a creamy dairy free lemon tahini dressing is filling, delicious and healthy! This is an easy to make salad that is perfect for entertaining or make a big batch and enjoy easy weeknight dinners or lunches.

I love versatile salads that can be a meal on their own. This salad is one of my go to dishes when entertaining.  You can use whatever vegetables you have on hand, it is filling, impressive enough to serve to guests…… and caters for vegetarians and vegans.

This Roasted Vegetable Salad salad ticks all the boxes as it is……

• Delicious…..the vegetables and the chickpeas have a mild balsamic spiced glaze that gives the dish extra flavour.
• Extremely filling and satisfying….
• Healthy……
• Easily adaptable….use whatever veggies you have on hand.
• Fills up a large platter easily for entertaining a crowd and is simple enough to easily make more if required, simply add in more veggies!
• It makes an easy side dish that goes with a variety of different mains.
• Chickpeas are not for everyone, so if you don’t like them or can’t tolerate them then this salad still works well without them.

How to make this Roasted Vegetable Salad….

1. Preheat the oven to 180c/355f.

2. Prepare the vegetables. Peel, rinse and chop them and put aside.

3. In a small bowl add the ingredients to make the balsamic glaze, mix with a fork or spoon until everything is combined.

4. On a large baking tray drizzle a small amount of olive oil. Place the vegetable and chickpeas on the tray. If using beetroot I like to keep it in its own corner for the first part of cooking at least so the juice doesn’t run on to everything else.

5. Drizzle the glaze over the vegetables as evenly as you can, gently turn them if needed to ensure that the vegetables are coated as much as possible.

6. Roughly break up the rosemary and place over the arranged vegetables and chickpeas,  add some salt and pepper.

7. Bake for 25 minutes, then turn the vegetables and bake for another 15-20 minutes until done.

8. Rinse the baby spinach leaves and pat dry, evenly lay out on a platter.

9. Place the roasted vegetables and chickpeas over the spinach leaves.

10. Dress with a drizzle of my  lemon tahini dressing over the vegetables. If you don’t wish to use this then a drizzle of olive oil will also work well.

11. Serve immediately. I prefer to eat this salad warm but it does make for tasty cold leftovers too.

What can I serve with this Roasted Vegetable Salad?

• This salad goes well with roasted meat of any kind such as lamb, chicken or beef.
• This is a great salad to serve at a potluck dinner or BBQ and is versatile enough to be served with other salads or side dishes such as: Sweet Potato and Feta Salad with Pomegranate and Pecans, Loaded Lentil Salad, Roasted Pumpkin, Chickpea and Sundried Tomato Salad.
• If you are Vegetarian, Vegan or simply trying to reduce the amount of meat you eat the chickpeas and the Lemon Tahini Dressing give this dish a dose of protein and fat meaning you can enjoy this as a stand alone meal and will not go hungry….

How to make this salad Paleo and Whole30 compliant:

• Remove the chickpeas from this salad.
• Look for a good quality balsamic vinegar. Read the label and look out for additives such as “caramel colour” or sulphites.
