Roasted Fall Veggie Salad with Easy Apple Cider Vinaigrette
Fall Roasted Root Vegetable Salad is one take will bring color to your dinner table. It’s made with a tangy and sweet apple cider vinaigrette.
This is a beatiful side dish to serve for parties. Naturally, it’s made with fall vegetables that are easy to find this time of year. It’s a great recipe for a healthy and tasty winter salad. It’s very satisfying and is full of flavor and crunch.
What do I need to make this fall salad?
Turnips are rich in fiber and vitamins B2 & B6.
Parsnips fill you with potassium and vitamin C.
Carrots are rich in beta carotene and vitamin A.
Red onion is rich in quercetin, which helps to boost exercise performance.
Kale fills you with folate, which is important for brain development.
Along with those ingredients, you will need avocado oil, sea salt, and thyme.
The Apple Cider Vinaigrette is made up with pantry staple ingredients that you’ll most likely have on hand. (Well, maybe not the shallot). On-hand ingredients sometimes may seem out of sorts on their own but in reality, combining them makes a great dressing. All you need is to know what combinations make the best flavors!
Apple cider vinegar is great for your gut and to boost the immune system. When taken on its own, it’s kind of tangy and well, yucky. But when mixed with avocado oil, thyme, shallots, maple syrup and flavored with salt it makes a great way to incorporate apple cider vinegar to your diet.
