Steps:
- Pre-heat oven to 400 degrees F and place oven rack in the top third of the oven.
- Spread onion, asparagus, zucchini, and cauliflower on a baking sheet lined with heavy duty aluminum foil (for easy cleanup) pour olive oil over and toss to coat (using your hands is easiest). Season with salt and pepper and roast until tender and slightly browned, about 25 to 35 minutes, checking periodically to make sure nothing burns.
- While the vegetables are roasting, make the sun-dried tomato dressing. Through the feed opening of a running blender, add scallions, garlic, sun-dried tomatoes, and the fresh basil leaves. Add the vinegar and blend. Scrape down the sides and blend again until a paste is formed. Then, leaving the blender running, add the olive oil in a slow steady stream allowing the mixture to emulsify. Season the dressing with salt and pepper to taste.
- Remove the vegetables from the oven and transfer to a mixing bowl. Stir the cheese into the vegetables to allow it to melt slightly. Fold in peas and grape tomatoes. Mix with enough dressing to coat. (Do not feel compelled to use all of the dressing). Transfer to a serving dish and garnish with basil sprigs. Serve extra dressing on the side.
Tips:
- Choose fresh vegetables: The fresher the vegetables, the more flavorful and nutritious your salad will be.
- Use a variety of vegetables: Different vegetables offer different textures, flavors, and nutrients. Aim for a mix of leafy greens, root vegetables, and colorful vegetables.
- Don't overcook the vegetables: Overcooked vegetables lose their flavor and nutrients. Steaming or roasting vegetables is a good way to retain their nutrients and flavor.
- Use high-quality cheese: The quality of the cheese will make a big difference in the flavor of your salad. Choose a cheese that is flavorful and melts well.
- Make your own dressing: Store-bought dressings are often high in unhealthy fats and sugar. Making your own dressing is easy and allows you to control the ingredients.
- Experiment with different herbs and spices: Herbs and spices can add a lot of flavor to your salad. Try using fresh herbs like basil, oregano, or thyme. You can also use dried herbs or spices like garlic powder, onion powder, or paprika.

Vegetable cheese salad is a delicious and healthy dish that is perfect for lunch, dinner, or a snack. It is packed with nutrients and flavor, and it is easy to make. With a few simple tips, you can make a vegetable cheese salad that is sure to please everyone at your table.
