This salad is a great way to get your daily dose of veggies. It's also very versatile - I've added grilled chicken, quinoa, and even fruit to it before.

Meh. It was okay, but not as flavorful as I expected.

I've tried many vegetable salads before, but this one truly stands out. The roasting process brings out the natural sweetness of the vegetables, and the herbs add a wonderful depth of flavor.

Easy to make and incredibly delicious! I used zucchini, peppers, and onions for the roasted vegetables, and the dressing was spot-on.
