Great Salad Recipe

Roasted Vegetable Salad w/ Goat Cheese

This was fantastic and refreshing! I doubled the recipe, since it only makes enough for one.

Ingredients
Serves 1
2 carrots, cut into 2-inch matchsticks (I used baby carrots)
1 medium zucchini, quartered lengthwise and cut into 1-inch chunks
1 small red onion, cut into wedges, layers separated
2 tablespoons olive oil
Coarse salt and ground pepper
1 tablespoon sherry or balsamic vinegar
1 small head Boston lettuce, torn into bite-size pieces
1/4 cup crumbled goat cheese (1 ounce)
Directions
Preheat oven or toaster oven to 450 degrees. On a rimmed baking sheet, toss carrots, zucchini, and onion with 1 tablespoon oil; season with salt and pepper.
Roast until vegetables are tender and browned, 20 to 25 minutes, tossing once.
In a serving bowl, whisk together vinegar and remaining tablespoon oil; season with salt and pepper. Add lettuce, and toss. Top with roasted vegetables and goat cheese.

Helpful Hint
Goat cheese is a smart choice for cheese lovers. It's lower in fat than most cow's-milk cheeses and is a good source of calcium and protein

OMG!! That is such a major bummer that we were both in SD and didn't even know it!! Where were you staying at? We are coming to Austin the weekend of ACL Fest. Lacey, Julie and Darri (my friend from work) are throwing a shower that Sat. morning so hopefully we will see you and Mike that weekend! And meet Greyson- can't believe we've never seen him in person!
