This really isn’t a recipe but more of a “clean out your fridge” type salad. I often end up with halves of sweet potatoes and butternut squash roaming around my fridge and a roasted vegetable salad is the perfect way to use up all of those ingredients.
This salad can be used for whatever leftover grain you need to use up too. So you see, less a recipe, more an idea. I also love roasted veggie salads with a side of hummus- you can’t go wrong!
