Place chopped potatoes on one baking sheet and drizzle with 1 1/2 tablespoon oil. Toss to coat and sprinkle liberally with salt and pepper. 4. Roast the potatoes for 15 minutes. Meanwhile, place the asparagus on the other baking sheet (and the red onion if you prefer to roast it too and drizzle with 1 1/2 tbsp. oil. Sprinkle with salt and pepper. After the potatoes have roasted for 15 minutes, flip the potatoes and return them to the oven along with the asparagus (and red onion if you are roasting that) for another 12-15 minutes. The potatoes should be golden on the bottom when ready and the asparagus will be tender. Add roasted veggies into a large bowl along with the lentils and gently toss to combine. 5.

It's definitely a dressing you can play around with! 6. Pour half of the dressing onto the veggies and lentils in the bowl and toss to combine. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Serve the salad warm with a garnish of fresh dill (optional), with the rest of the dressing served on the side.
