This paleo, Whole30, and vegan Roasted Greek Salad is so vibrant and healthy with various yummy vegetables, and it’s the perfect dish to bring to a picnic or a potluck! 

You know what food makes me feel the best? A Hugh Jass salad with all the vegetables with a generous dose of healthy fats. Then add a yummy protein like chicken, steak, or salmon and that’s a perfect meal to me.

Recently, I’ve been way more into roasted vegetables than raw ones because they are easier to digest and they are so much tastier to me. Roasted veggies also last so much longer if you have leftovers in the fridge without wilting down like fresh ones, and cooking up a big batch once to eat throughout the week makes it so much easier to get in my daily dose of vegetables. That’s what got me making this Roasted Greek Salad, and the combination of various vegetables in this recipe tastes divine coated in some lemony Greek-inspired dressing.

I mean… how gorgeous is this assortment of nature’s candy? This is definitely my version of “eat the rainbow.” After you roast most of the veggies, you then add in olives, cucumber, and the dressing, and mix them all together. So many delicious flavors and textures in one dish!

This Roasted Greek Salad also tastes better the longer it sits after the flavor has some time to build, so it’s great for bringing to a picnic or a potluck. It’s also great for batch cooking and eating throughout the week. I’ve been pretty busy these day, so having this salad for leftovers as an easy side has been such a lifesaver!
