About

This salad is a feast for the eyes and the gut, using delicious ingredients that are roasted to bring out their sweetness, paired with garlic in both the marinade and the dressing. It also just happens to be gluten- and dairy-free, yet it delivers so much flavour and nutrition. Use up leftover roast vegetables or create your own favourite combination; try swapping the aubergine for pumpkin, sweet potato or cauliflower. For a nut-free option, swap the pine nuts for croutons.
