Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 medium red bell peppers
- 2 medium zucchini
- 1 large red onion
- 1 pint cherry tomatoes
- 3 medium carrots
- 0.25 cup extra virgin olive oil
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 4 cups mixed salad greens
- 0.25 cup balsamic vinaigrette
- 0.5 cup crumbled feta cheese
- 0.25 cup fresh basil leaves
Instructions
Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C).
Wash and dry all vegetables thoroughly.
Cut the red bell peppers into thick strips, slice the zucchini into half-moons, and cut the red onion into wedges. Slice the carrots diagonally into pieces roughly the same size as the zucchini slices.
Place bell peppers, zucchini, onion, and carrots on a large baking sheet. Drizzle with olive oil and sprinkle with salt and black pepper. Toss to coat the vegetables evenly.
Spread the vegetables out into a single layer on the baking sheet. Roast in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, stirring halfway through, until the vegetables are tender and slightly charred around the edges.
While the other vegetables are roasting, cut the cherry tomatoes in half. Add the tomatoes to the baking sheet during the last 10 minutes of roasting.
Remove the roasted vegetables from the oven and let cool slightly on the baking sheet.
In a large salad bowl, combine the mixed salad greens and roasted vegetables. Pour the balsamic vinaigrette over the salad and toss gently to combine.
Sprinkle the salad with crumbled feta cheese and garnish with fresh basil leaves.
Serve immediately as a main dish or side dish.
