Roast Root Vegetable Salad with Goat’s cheese

  0

This Roast Root Vegetable salad is a winter classic. And this is not just due to its wonderful warming flavours.

In winter, the cold weather means root vegetables take longer to grow, and therefore spend a longer time underground. This also means they have more time to soak up nutrients, which gives them a stronger nutritional punch than the summer months.

  • 1 bunch baby turnips, trimmed
  • 1 bunch Dutch carrots, trimmed

  • ¼ cup Extra-Virgin olive Oil
