This salad is filling, full of flavor and it’s easy to make in big batches for meal prep. The roasted veggies are served chilled or room temperature. You can easily pack this as a lunch or make it for a nice side dish or light dinner.

The Maple Garlic dressing in this recipe is really the star of this dish. It is my second favorite dressing I have ever created. Another favorite dressing of mine is the Miso Tahini Dressing. The maple and garlic really highlight each other and the dressing is thick and creamy. You would never know it’s dairy free!
