Indulge in a symphony of flavors with our Roasted Veggie Summer Salad, a vibrant and refreshing dish that embodies the essence of summer. This delightful salad features a medley of roasted vegetables, each contributing its unique texture and taste. Savor the sweetness of cherry tomatoes, the earthy notes of bell peppers, the subtle bitterness of zucchini, and the hearty crunch of broccoli. The vegetables are roasted to perfection, caramelizing their natural sugars and intensifying their flavors. Tossed in a zesty lemon-herb dressing, the salad gains a bright and tangy dimension. Accompanying the roasted vegetables is a selection of fresh summer ingredients that add pops of color and texture. Crisp romaine lettuce provides a sturdy base, while crumbled feta cheese offers a salty and creamy contrast. Toasted pine nuts add a nutty crunch, and fresh basil leaves infuse the salad with a fragrant herbal touch. This Roasted Veggie Summer Salad is not only a feast for the senses but also a nutritional powerhouse, providing an array of vitamins, minerals, and antioxidants. It's a perfect side dish for grilled meats or fish, or can be enjoyed on its own as a light and satisfying meal.

SUMMER VEGETABLE SALAD
THIS SALAD is not only delicious, it helped our family weather the Depression. I still remember lining up with Papa to receive dried beans and a 10-pound sack of yellow cornmeal. We used the cornmeal to make polenta. Mother made this salad with vegetables from the garden, and it really tasted good with the polenta. -Rudy Mancini, Calistoga, California
