  • Roast the vegetables until they are tender and slightly charred.

  • Taste the dressing and adjust the seasonings as needed.
  • Serve the salad immediately, while the vegetables are still warm.

The salad is also very versatile and can be customized to your liking. For example, you can add different types of vegetables, such as bell peppers, zucchini, or corn. You can also add different proteins, such as grilled chicken or fish. And you can adjust the amount of spice in the dressing by adding more or less chili powder.
