Basque Salad image

This recipe is inspired by Woolgrowers Restaurant in Bakersfield, California. Among the many appetizers they give, there is one that is very much like this salad which is handy to have in the refrigerator. It is very good and close to my inspiration.

I love the combination of flavors in this salad. The roasted vegetables are sweet and smoky, the goat cheese is tangy, and the vinaigrette is bright and acidic.

This salad is a great way to use up leftover roasted vegetables. I added some grilled chicken to mine and it was a delicious and healthy meal.
