In this delicious salad the flavors come from roasted onions and carrots. Both these vegetables taste phenomenal when roasted – the carrots get sweeter, and the onions caramelize with a slight char.

The inspiration
The inspiration for this recipe comes from the latest edition of Bon Appetit magazine and is for a delicious roasted carrot and onion salad with spring greens, fresh feta cheese and avocado.

The dressing
The dressing is a very simple vinaigrette – honey dijon mustard with honey and fresh lemon juice, olive oil, salt and pepper. Pump up the salad with eggs, chick peas or bulgur, or farro for a hearty spring inspired salad. Give it a try!
