Warm roasted vegetable salad

This dish is perfect for any occasion, providing a satisfying and nutritious meal that's bursting with flavor.

Instructions:

1. Preheat Oven:
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
2. Prepare Vegetables:
- Wash and peel the potatoes and sweet potatoes. Cut them into 1-inch (2.5 cm) cubes.
- Peel and chop the garlic cloves finely.
- Deseed and cut the red pepper into strips.
- Peel the onion and cut it into thick slices.
3. Season and Roast:
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the potato cubes, sweet potato cubes, chopped garlic, red pepper strips, and onion slices.
- Drizzle with 2 tablespoons of the olive oil and sprinkle with salt, pepper, and the dried oregano. Toss to coat the vegetables evenly.
- Spread the seasoned vegetables in a single layer on a large baking sheet.
- Roast in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until the vegetables are tender and golden, stirring halfway through for even roasting.
4. Prepare Pine Nuts:
- While the vegetables are roasting, toast the pine nuts in a dry skillet over medium heat. Stir frequently until they are golden brown and fragrant, about 3-4 minutes. Be careful not to burn them. Set aside.
5. Make Dressing:
- In a small bowl, whisk together the remaining 2 tablespoons of olive oil, lemon juice, and mustard. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
6. Assemble Salad:
- Once the roasted vegetables are ready, remove them from the oven and let them cool for a few minutes.
- In a large salad bowl, add the arugula. Top with the warm roasted vegetables.
- Drizzle the dressing over the salad and toss gently to combine.
- Sprinkle the toasted pine nuts over the top.
7. Serving:
- Serve the warm roasted vegetable salad immediately. Enjoy!

Tips:

- For extra crispiness, cut the potatoes and sweet potatoes into evenly sized pieces.

- Roast the garlic cloves with the vegetables for a deeper, mellower garlic flavor.

- Toast the pine nuts lightly in a dry skillet over medium heat until golden brown to enhance their nutty flavor.

- Toss the arugula with the dressing first before combining with the roasted vegetables for a more even coating.

- Feel free to experiment with additional vegetables like zucchini or carrots to customize the salad to your taste.

This warm roasted vegetable salad is not only simple to prepare but also versatile and incredibly satisfying. Whether served as a main dish or a side, it brings a wonderful harmony of flavors and textures to your table. Enjoy the wholesome goodness and vibrant taste of this delightful salad.
