This is my signature salad that I serve up during holidays and special events. Everyone loves it. I actually put a small amount of cheese choices on the side since not everyone likes feta or goat cheese (but I love them). This salad is so delicious and super easy to make. Walnuts are optional and you can change this around to make it more you also! Enjoy! Your guests sure will! Nutrition info: Serves 6: Calories 106; Pro 6g; Fat 7g ( without walnuts)
Ingredients
- 1 red bell pepper, sliced in strips
- 1 yellow squash, sliced
- 1 zucchini, sliced
- 1 eggplant, cut in 1 inch cubes

- 10 cherry tomatoes, cut in half (makes 20 halves)
- 1 cucumber, peeled and diced
- 1 med carrot, shredded
- handful of crumbled feta or goat cheese or fresh mozzarella, shredded ( 1/2 cup)

- 1-2 Tbsp of balsamic vinegar
- 2 Tbsp of extra virgin olive oil
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
- Place eggplant, red bell pepper, zucchini, and squash in baking pan. Sprinkle with 1 teaspoon of olive oil and mix. Baked for 30 min or until all veggies are soft.
- Wash spring medley lettuce mix and put into a bowl.Put into salad cherry tomatoes, cucumber and carrot shreds (take a peeler and simply peel carrot length wise to get pieces of shred).
- When veggies are done, place on top of salad. Sprinkle choice of cheese, remaining olive oil and balsamic and serve.

Roasted veggies on a salad, bring the old hoyum salad to new levels. What a great reminder to roast up a batch and have them in the fridge so I can make salads just like this one in a flash. Thanks for sharing this with us at BTP. I hope to see you next week.
France, Thanks for inviting me over to BTP! I so look forward to sharing healthy ideas! I will be there next week and also trying out some of the other post ideas as well!
This looks lovely! I need to make a roasted veggie salad some time.

Dr Lisa-thank you very much for placing this delicious recipe on Natural Mothers Network’s linky: Seasonal Celebration! You helped make Seasonal Celebration a wealth of intelligent, creative and resourceful information and it’s been such a pleasure for me and many others to read through each post. I am really looking forward to seeing you again Sunday evening or Monday! Rebecca x
Another amazing recipe! I love your contributions to Fit and Fabulous Fridays!! Keep em’ coming! You are a cook after my own heart!
I also love how we “see” food and health the same way. Not all agree on the low fat and balanced plate, but after 15 years of practice, I know it is the most healthiest (high plant of course). Looking forward to our Fit momentum together!
