Roasted-Vegetable Salad with Garlic Dressing image

Roasting intensifies the flavors and colors of this composed salad, made with fingerling potatoes, delicata squash, baby beets, brussels sprouts, carrots, leeks, and celery root. A warm garlic dressing complements the smokiness of these vegetables, which are arranged over a bed of dark greens, such as kale.

Warm Roasted-Garlic Dressing for Roasted-Vegetable Salad

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Put squash, potatoes, carrots, brussels sprouts, celery root, and beets into a large bowl. Drizzle with 3 tablespoons oil, and sprinkle with 1 teaspoon salt and 1/4 teaspoon pepper; toss. Arrange vegetables in a single layer on 2 rimmed baking sheets (do not crowd). Roast 15 minutes.
  • Toss leeks with remaining tablespoon oil. Add to roasting vegetables; continue to roast, tossing halfway through, until golden brown and tender, about 35 minutes more. Transfer sheets to wire racks; let cool slightly.
  • Place greens on a platter; top with vegetables. Drizzle with warm dressing. Season with salt and pepper.
