Vegetable Cheese Salad Recipes

ROASTED VEGETABLE SALAD WITH GOAT CHEESE

Steps:

• 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.

ROASTED VEGETABLES SALAD

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F.
• Cut the squash vertically down the center and use a spoon to scrape out the seeds. Cut the squash into 2-inch pieces or half-moons. Put on a large baking sheet and toss to combine with the Brussels sprouts, pumpkin seeds, olive oil, turnips, carrots and some salt and pepper.
• Roast the vegetables, stirring once, until caramelized and tender, about 30 minutes. Test for doneness with the tip of a sharp knife; it should go through the vegetables easily. Transfer to a large serving platter, drizzle with the Balsamic Vinaigrette and garnish with the parsley, currants and goat cheese.
• In a medium bowl, whisk together the oil, vinegar, mustard, garlic and salt and pepper to taste until completely combined.

QUICK-PICKLED VEGETABLE SALAD

Steps:

• Prepare the pickled onions: Set the sliced onion in a small heatproof bowl. Combine the vinegar, sugar, coriander seeds (if using), salt and 1/2 cup water in a small saucepan. Bring to a boil over high, then pour over onions. Stir to combine, let cool, then transfer onions and brine to a lidded container. Refrigerate until chilled. (Makes about 2/3 cup drained onions. Onions will keep up to 3 weeks.)
• Prepare the salad: In a medium bowl, combine the celery, carrots, olive oil, lemon zest and juice. Season generously with salt and pepper and toss to coat.
• When ready to serve, add the lettuce, radishes (if using) and herbs to a large bowl, season lightly with salt and pepper and gently toss to coat. Using a slotted spoon or tongs, transfer the celery and carrots to the vegetables in the large bowl, leaving the vinaigrette behind in the medium bowl.
• To the vinaigrette, add the mustard, 1/4 cup drained pickled red onions and 4 teaspoons of the pickled red onion brine and stir to combine; season to taste. Add vinaigrette to salad, toss to coat and season. Serve immediately.
