This salad is perfect for a light lunch or a hearty side dish, and it's packed with nutritious ingredients like spinach and cherry tomatoes.
Instructions:
- Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
- Wash the potatoes thoroughly, then cut them into bite-sized chunks.
- Peel the red onions and slice them into wedges.
- Cut the red pepper in half, remove the seeds and stem, then slice it into strips.
- On a large baking sheet, spread out the potatoes, onions, and red pepper slices.
- Drizzle 2 tablespoons of olive oil over the vegetables and gently toss them to ensure they are evenly coated.
- Season with salt and pepper to taste.
- Roast the vegetables in the preheated oven for about 25-30 minutes, or until they are tender and slightly browned, stirring halfway through.
- While the other vegetables are roasting, rinse the cherry tomatoes and slice them in half.
- Add the halved tomatoes to the baking sheet during the last 10 minutes of roasting.
- In a small bowl, combine 2 tablespoons of lemon juice with 1 tablespoon of capers.
- Finely chop 1 tablespoon of fresh parsley and add it to the bowl.
- Mix well.
- Once the vegetables are roasted, remove them from the oven and let them cool slightly.
- In a large serving bowl, add 4 cups of fresh spinach.
- Top the spinach with the roasted vegetable mixture and the halved cherry tomatoes.
- Drizzle the caper dressing over the salad and toss gently to combine.
- Serve the roasted vegetable salad warm or at room temperature.
- Optionally, garnish with additional fresh parsley before serving.
Tips:
- Make sure to cut the vegetables into even-sized pieces to ensure they roast uniformly.
- Roast the potatoes first as they take longer to cook, then add the other vegetables partway through the roasting time.
- For added flavor, try roasting a clove of garlic with the vegetables and mix it into the dressing.
- You can substitute other vegetables you have on hand, such as zucchini or carrots, for a different twist.
- Don't toss the salad with the dressing until just before serving to keep the spinach from wilting.
