This Roasted Vegetable Salad with Lemon Vinaigrette combines fresh roasted potatoes, corn and asparagus tossed in a fresh lemon vinaigrette lightly sweetened with honey.
Well spring is almost here. We are expecting a little cold snap this weekend. Perhaps it will knock down the early mosquito population without nipping the buds swelling up on the trees and the bulbs popping up in the garden. With spring comes lots of wonderful recipes that bring us back to natures bounty. The beauty of spring’s dishes is amazing and the nutritional value is just what we need after a long winter.
I am really excited about cooking this spring! I love to prepare beautiful and nutritiously rich dishes that we can feel good about eating and feeding our families. It is so much easier to do this in the spring and summer as nature leaves us so many options.
This Roasted Vegetable Salad requires minimal effort and the lemon vinaigrette can be prepared ahead of time. Leftovers hold up quite well and some of my family members might even argue that the salad is even more flavorful the second day. I love lemons and this lemon vinaigrette is lip smacking good with just the right amount of honey.
You could make a full meal out of this or pair it with fresh grilled chicken, smoked salmon or even my Dry Rub Sweet Barbecue Pork Tenderloin or my Grilled Flank Steak. This dish goes well with a nice light white wine like Sauvignon Blanc. However you plan to eat it or whatever you plan to pair it with you will love this delightful Roasted Vegetable Salad with Lemon Vinaigrette and your body will appreciate it as well.

I thought that the husk was the green leaves on outside of an ear of corn. You talk about removing corn from husk, do you mean remove from cob?
Beth Pierce
Thanks for the heads up, Martha!
