Notes
- If you wanted to add some extra flavour, you could put a seasoning blend to the roasted vegetables. Why not try our Peri Peri Seasoning?
- We topped this salad with feta, but Stilton or burrata work well.
- You can swap the pine nuts for seeds like pumpkin or sunflower or even add some toasted walnuts or pecans.
- Add the dressing at the last minute to stop the salad from getting soggy.
- If you like some spice in your meals, then add a sprinkle or red chilli flakes before serving.
