Emilys Famous Roasted Vegetable Salad Recipes

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F. Arrange the mushrooms, broccoli, carrot and parsnip on a rimmed baking sheet. Drizzle with 2 tablespoons of the maple syrup, the cinnamon, smoked paprika, 2 tablespoons of the olive oil, 1 1/2 teaspoons salt and a few grinds of pepper and toss until well coated. Make sure the vegetables are in an even layer on the baking sheet and roast until they are softened and caramelized in spots, 28 to 30 minutes.
• Meanwhile, whisk the vinegar, Dijon, shallot, orange juice, remaining 1 teaspoon maple syrup, 1/2 teaspoon salt and a few grinds of pepper in a medium bowl. Whisking constantly, slowly drizzle the remaining 1/3 cup olive oil into the bowl until emulsified (this should take about 2 minutes).
• Divide the kale among 4 bowls. Top each bowl with some roasted vegetables, chopped pecans and goat cheese. Drizzle with some of the dressing. This can be served warm or cold. Store any leftover dressing in a sealed container in the refrigerator for up to 1 week.

Steps:

• In a small bowl, combine the pomegranate juice and orange zest, vinegar, shallots, salt, pepper and mustard and whisks thoroughly to combine. Add the oil in a steady stream and whisk until emulsified. Fold the segmented oranges and sliced onions into 1/4 cup of the dressing and toss to combine and set aside.
• Wrap each slice of goat cheese in a slice of prosciutto. Heat a large skillet over medium high heat. Add the wrapped cheeses and sear on both sides. Remove from the heat.
• In a large salad bowl, combine the greens. Add the marinated orange sections and onion slices, and toss gently with enough extra dressing to coat evenly. Divide among salad plates and top each with a seared goat cheese package and a sprinkling of pomegranate seeds. Spoon a little extra dressing over each salad and serve immediately.

• Spread the eggplant and squash slices out in an even layer on the prepared baking sheet. Place the cloves of garlic off to one side of the pan, so you can find them later. Bake for 15 minutes in the preheated oven
• While the vegetables roast, whisk together the red wine vinegar, balsamic vinegar, olive oil, and lemon juice in a large serving bowl. Season with oregano, parsley, salt and pepper. Remove the garlic cloves from the oven, and chop or mash. Whisk the garlic into the dressing. Set aside.
• Remove the vegetables from the oven, and stir the squash and eggplant. Layer the asparagus, red onion, and red bell pepper over the top of the eggplant and squash. Return to the oven, and bake for another 15 to 20 minutes, or until the asparagus is tender but still bright green.
• When the vegetables are cooked through and slightly toasted, remove them from the oven, and place them in the bowl with the dressing. Stir to coat evenly. Taste and adjust salt and pepper if necessary. Chill for a few hours to marinate the vegetables.
