Blue Ribbon Recipe by

I went to the grocery store and all the veggies looked good today. So I bought a little of everything and this is what I did with it. This came out so good and it is a great meal for a summer day or any day. Try grilling the veggies instead of roasting them in the oven. The hot vegetables wilt the spinach just a little to make it yummy.

Blue Ribbon Recipe

What a wonderful roasted veggie salad for summer. It's filled with tons of fresh produce like beets, zucchini, summer squash, fresh asparagus, and more. Once roasted, the veggies are tender yet crispy. This salad will be delicious alongside grilled meat, poultry, and fish. An easy way to cook summer veggies.

  • Veggies roasting in the oven.
