WARM ROASTED VEGETABLE SALAD WITH BACON VINAIGRETTE
Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F. Toss the asparagus, potatoes, artichokes and onion together in a large bowl along with the olive oil, 1 teaspoon salt and 1/2 teaspoon pepper so that all the ingredients are well mixed.
- Divide the vegetables evenly between 2 sheet pans, and give the pans a shake so that the veggies spread into an even layer. Roast the vegetables, rotating the pans halfway through cooking, for 15 minutes.
- Transfer the roasted vegetables to a large mixing bowl and toss with the Bacon Vinaigrette and chiffonaded basil. Season to taste with additional salt and pepper.
- Cook the bacon in a 10-inch saute pan over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until the bacon is browned and crisp at the edges, 6 to 8 minutes. Remove the bacon from the pan and place on a plate lined with a paper towel. Pat the bacon pieces dry with a paper towel to remove excess grease. Reserve 3 tablespoons of the rendered bacon fat from the pan.
- In a small mixing bowl, whisk together the lemon juice, honey and reserved bacon fat, along with 1/2 teaspoon salt and a pinch of pepper until smooth. Taste and add additional salt and pepper as desired.
CRISP TOMATO & BOCCONCINI SALAD
This is one of my favorite salads I used to always buy in the deli of my grocery store until I found this recipe! It is a recipe I got from Rachael Ray's magazine. Boccoccini are bite-size balls of fresh mozzarella. You can substitute 1/2-inch cubes of regular fresh mozzarella, but it's not as good.

TOMATO AND BOCCONCINI SALAD
A very quick and pretty dish - the colors of the Italian flag. Can be made with either very fresh mozzarella or bocconcini (fresh mini mozzarellas). My mom used to make this all the time. I don't personally use the salt, but I do like lots of freshly ground pepper on mine. I also like this with oregano. Feel free to experiment! Posted for ZWT 2006.
