With the heat of the summer I like to keep recipes really simple and use seasonal ingredients, so here is an easy Roasted Summer Vegetable Salad that is perfect for summer days and nights.

Taking my cue from seasonal produce, I couldn’t resist roasting corn fresh off the cob for this salad as it adds such a wonderful sweet flavour that complements the rest of the vegetables.

So dive on into this refreshing summer salad, packed full of flavour and easy to make!

Instructions

  1. Pre-heat your oven to 425F.  Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper and set aside.

  4. Pour your vegetables onto your baking sheet, spread out and then put in the oven to roast for 25-27 minutes, until slightly caramelized (some golden colour).

The oregano gives this salad this addictive buttery flavour and the vegetables add a fresh component.

    I actually prefer corn off the cob, all the flavour without any of the teeth flossing.
