Roasted Vegetable Salad

You guys, I’m SO glad you’re here! This week was ridiculawzzz! <— (I’m trying to stay on the edge of cool. I saw that spelling on my little cousin’s Facebook Page. She’s 14. That’s how high-schoolers talk diz dayz).

So. I need about a bottle of wine for each day to get over this cray cray week.

Just so you know what I’m talking about; I was at the pediatrician’s five times in 7 days. It involved a baby, a splinter, a removing of splinter, and an ear infection.

Didn’t I say it was ridiculous!

But, all is well now. Thank goodness! Um… Where’s the cognac? Bottle of wine may not work…

Making this Roasted Vegetable Salad came more as a, we need something damn delicious and quick, during that whole chaos. Few days prior, I went to the market and bought a ton of fruits and veggies. Seriously, a ton is not an exaggeration. I don’t know when to stop when I go to the farmer’s market. All those beautiful colors make me slaphappy! I can’t help but buy every.thing.

Then, I come home and roast everything in sight. Or grill. Depending on the day’s mood. This day it was raining out, so I roasted most of the veg that was taking space in my fridge.

And then, I did this thing… I made the best freakin’ honey mustard dressing that I have ever made. The Best. Honestly. This stuff is amaaaaze! I could, like, hang with it all day and just sip on it. Really, you should just print this salad dressing recipe and put it up on your fridge. You’ll need it for every salad that you are going to make this summer.

You should also print the recipe to this roasted vegetable salad – you are going to thank me later for making that suggestion.

ENJOY!

P.S. Dear Dads, HAPPY FATHER’S DAY!!!
