Hi everyone, long time no see. I’ve been a bit lazy with the blogging, shame on me. My only excuse is, I spend most of my time in bed feeling sorry for myself, and by the time I’m done with that, the sun has set along with my motivation to cook or do anything in general. But hey, good news, I woke up semi depression free today and am here with a yummy Vegan Roasted Vegetable Salad with Avocado Dressing.
I start this Vegan Roasted Vegetable Salad out with a bunch of inexpensive (I am a cheap ass), easily available and hearty ingredients. I first steam some Salad Potatoes and Sweet Potatoes till almost fork tender, and then combine them with chopped Red Bell Pepper, halved Baby Brussels Sprouts, Olive Oil, Dried Oregano and a generous amount of Salt and Black Pepper. Can’t get any fukking simpler than that. Once the veggies are bathed in their dressing, into a preheated oven they go to roast till caramelized and golden.
My Vegan Roasted Vegetable Salad sits on a bed of mixed Salad Greens that are sprinkled with some Olive Oil, Salt and Red Wine Vinegar. Why? I’m not sure, it just sounds kind of classy and adds a little extra flavor to the whole dish. I like classy things.
Alright. So your Vegan Roasted Vegetables are done. What oh what do we do now? Well, whilst the veggies are warm, we’re going to tumble them into their bed of salad greens. Residual heat will wilt the greens ever so slightly which is what we want. SCIENCE MAN SCIENCE. Oh, chuck in some Pine Nuts too. They’re classy.
Now the crowning glory on this Vegan Roasted Vegetable Salad – the creamy Avocado Dressing. Into a little blender/nutribullet or whatever the fuk you have goes half an Avocado, Rice Vinegar, Garlic, Olive Oil, Salt, Pepper and Coconut Water. Why Coconut Water? BECAUSE CLASS. Blend everything up, and you have a delicious, creamy Avocado Dressing that dresses the Roasted Vegetable Salad perfectly. I used a piping bag to drizzle the dressing on. Why? BECAUSE CLASS.
