Roasted Veggie Salad with whipped Boursin and quick granola
This one is for all of you who need help with what to do with your leftover roasted veg. There’s no need to do a sad re-heat in the microwave and suffer through a mushy plate of carrots, squash or whatever you have left. Transforming your day-old veg into an incredible, creamy and crunchy Roasted Veggie Salad with whipped Boursin and quick granola.
Key Ingredients for this Boursin Salad.
Of course, this dish will depend on what veg you have on hand, but we’ll talk about that in a bit. First, I want to talk about a few of the other ingredients.
Boursin- You won’t find another cheese that will give you this much flavour and body. I used the truffle and black pepper because it pairs so well with the rich flavours of balsamic and the deep char of many roasted vegetables!
Oats- You can make a granola out of a million different things; I like to use dry oats as the base for many of mine. They have a great flavour that rounds out the sweetness and, when toasted, give an almost nutty flavour.
Use what you have!
This is where we’re going to talk about all things roasted veg. In my house, we always add a side of roasted veg to every meal to sneak in a little extra fibre and nutrition. Currently, on rotation, I’m cooking a lot of carrots, potatoes and squash, but you can use any of these veg, and your leftover masterpiece will taste just as good!
Sweet potatoes, jams and turnips all have natural sugar and caramelize well when roasted, and grilled zucchini are always welcome.
Make the perfect dressing every time!
A good salad or dish is only as good as its salad dressing, so here’s a quick tip to making it perfect every time!
1) Get a bottle that will be filled only partially when you add all the ingredients.
2) Shake it like your life depends on it. The oil, sugar and vinegar will emulsify as you shake.
3) Keep it airtight; if it splits in the fridge, give it another good shake, and it should re-emulsify!
