Mediterranean Roasted Vegetable Salad Recipes

Steps:

• Bring water and rice to a boil in a saucepan. Reduce heat to medium-low, cover, and simmer until rice is tender and liquid has been absorbed, 18 to 20 minutes. Remove from heat and pour enough cold water on top of the cooked rice to cover it. Stir to cool. Drain well; transfer rice into a bowl. Stir in 1 tablespoon olive oil and season with herb salt.
• Mix capers, parsley, and lemon zest in a small bowl; add to rice. Mix in zucchini, carrots, yellow bell pepper, and red bell pepper. Season with remaining 1 tablespoon olive oil, lemon juice, and salt.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 425°F.
• Prepare a shallow roasting dish with nonstick cooking spray.
• Combine potatoes, eggplant, both bell peppers, and the red onion slices and place in roasting dish.
• Whisk together the olive oil, balsamic vinegar, basil, oregano, chives, garlic and salt and pepper.
• Drizzle sauce over the mixed vegetables and toss to coat.
• Roast vegetables until tender, about 45 minutes. Stir halfway through the cooking time.

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
• Place cherry tomatoes, bell peppers, zucchini, red onions, and garlic on a large, rimmed baking sheet. Drizzle and toss with olive oil. Season with basil and pepper.
• Bake in the preheated oven until vegetables are lightly browned and easily pierced with a fork, 35 to 40 minutes.

Steps:

• Preheat broiler. Brush eggplant with olive oil. Sprinkle with salt and pepper. Broil until brown and just cooked through, about 2 minutes per side. Transfer to paper towels and drain.
• Preheat oven to 425°F. Combine onions and potatoes on large baking sheet. Drizzle with 3 tablespoons oil; toss to coat. Season with salt and pepper. Place peppers on medium baking sheet. Add 1 tablespoon oil; toss to coat. Season with salt and pepper. Roast vegetables until tender and light golden, stirring occasionally, about 35 minutes for peppers and about 1 hour for potatoes and onions. Transfer to large bowl. Place zucchini on medium baking sheet. Add 1 tablespoon oil; toss to coat. Season with salt and pepper. Bake until crisp-tender, about 20 minutes. Transfer to bowl with vegetables. Cut eggplant into 1-inch squares and add to vegetables in bowl.
• Combine mustard and vinegar in small bowl. Gradually mix in remaining 4 tablespoons olive oil. Add basil. Add dressing to salad and mix to coat. (Can be made 1 day ahead. Cover; chill. Bring to room temperature before continuing.)
• Mix radicchio, arugula and cheese into salad. Season with salt and pepper.

Steps:

• Place the scallions, tomatoes, cucumber, chickpeas, parsley, mint, and basil in a large salad bowl and toss to combine.
• In a small bowl or measuring cup, whisk together the lemon juice, garlic, 2 teaspoons salt, and 1 teaspoon pepper. Slowly whisk in the olive oil to make an emulsion. Pour the dressing over the salad, tossing gently to coat all the vegetables. Add the feta, sprinkle with salt and pepper, and toss gently. Serve the salad with the toasted pita bread.

Steps:

• 1. Pre heat oven to 375 degrees. Line your baking sheets with aluminum foil for easy cleanup. Spritz tomatoes and canned artichoke hearts with cooking spray or toss in olive oil and sprinkle with the kosher salt and pepper. Bake tomatoes for 15-20 minutes until they begin to pop a bit and get a little toasty brown.
• 2. Cook your artichockes the same amount of time, but flip them over after about eight minutes so both sides can brown.
• 3. While these are cooking, make your dressing, cook your pasta according to package directions and prep your other veggies. To make the dressing, combine all ingredients in a small jar and shake to combine. Finally, time to assemble the salad. Place all prepared vegetables in a bowl and add the cooked, cooled pasta and that very small pinch of oregano. Crumble your goat cheese, add your dressing and salad is ready to be refrigerated for about a 1/2 hour or longer, depending on your schedule.
• 4. Sometimes I find that the pasta soaks up a lot of the dressing, so right before service, add an additional T of olive oil and a tsp or two of vinegar, just to regenerate the salad.
