And since salads are something you can make last minute using veggies that are readily available in the fridge, they quite often become some of my go to dinners.
Even more perfect for anyone like me who is not the best at meal planning. 😆
But no one’s complaining in this household….. Especially the hubby! He’s always loved a good salad so that’s something I continue to get creative with.
Plus this is a fun or should I say interesting way to use what you have on hand and make it into something you would want to share. 😀 And the star of this salad just happens to be the roasted asparagus & cauliflower!
Cause roasting these veggies just adds to the over all flavor and texture of the salad.
And some how Easy One bowl dinners seem to always do it for me. So many advantages to this whole one bowl thing ➡ less to clean up for sure…. not to mention cleaning out your fridge.
Which also saves some of these wonderful fresh looking veggies from making their way to the compost pile.
Another great one bowl dinner to try is Parmesan Grilled Zoodles. You don’t even have to turn on the stove for this one. Now who doesn’t love that in the summer time. 😉
So anywho if you’re looking to clean out the fridge, prepare a tasty, simple dinner then Why not give this Roasted Asparagus & Cauliflower Salad a go.

I love simple healthy dishes like this one! Roasting the veggies is a great way to add extra flavour to a salad 🙂
Mmmm, asparagus is one of my very favorite vegetables! When it’s too hot to turn on the oven, this can be made on the grill too. 😉
Yes, this is definitely great with the veggies grilled as well!
I love seeing a beautiful dish created out of ingredients you already have on hand, and this one looks mouthwatering!
I just spent a weekend away with a friend and we ate our way across downtown Raleigh — definitely time to moderate my intake and your cauliflower salad looks like just the thing to make! Lots of colors and flavors, but nothing bad… Bless you.
Sure thing Lisa 😉 Hope you Enjoy!
