Tips:

  • Roasting the Potatoes: For perfectly roasted potatoes, ensure they are evenly coated in oil and spices. Roast them in a single layer on a baking sheet to achieve crispy edges and a tender interior.
  • Grilling the Vegetables: To get smoky and flavorful grilled vegetables, preheat your grill to high heat and cook the vegetables in batches. Avoid overcrowding the grill to prevent steaming.
  • Making the Dressing: For a well-balanced dressing, whisk together olive oil, vinegar, Dijon mustard, honey, salt, and pepper until smooth. Adjust the ratios to your taste preference.
  • Chopping the Herbs: Finely chop the herbs, such as basil, parsley, and chives, to release their aromatic oils and add a pop of freshness to the salad.
  • Assembling the Salad: Combine the roasted potatoes, grilled vegetables, chopped herbs, and dressing in a large bowl. Toss gently to coat everything evenly.
