Salads are not only to be eaten during spring and summer! Especially not if you make them with roasted vegetables. Using roasted vegetables is an easy way of making a salad more filling, comforting and warming without having to use a lot of ingredients or making it time consuming and complicated. Not only are they easy to make, they’re also very wallet friendly since you can use seasonal vegetables and easy to vary since you really don’t need to use more than 3-4 different types at a time. Make an easy, creamy and fresh dressing to top it with and you have yourself a lovely lunch, dinner or side dish! This salad is made with greek yogurt, but you can make it vegan by using a vegan option instead.
A few tips:
- If possible use small carrots that are equally thick. You don’t want to eat a big thick carrot in a salad. If you only have larger carrots you can cut them in half or quarters depending on their size.
- Drain the chickpeas, rinse and pat dry well to make sure you get a really crispy outside.
- You can make the vegetables in the oven or in an air fryer.
- If making it in the oven it will take 30-40 min and the air fryer will take 15-25 min, depending on the size of the carrots.
- The amount of tahini can be adapted according to taste.
- If you make this salad for meal prep purpose bring the mixed salad, parsley, dressing and furikake seasoning in a separate container. Heat the roasted vegetables in a micro wave or oven then mix with remaining ingredients… but…
- ..This salad is actually delicious to eat cold as well, so you don’t have to reheat the vegetables.
