minutesThis salad is bursting with big flavors from Garam Masala for roasting the veggies and Lemon White Balsamic for flavoring the dressing. Soom Tahini is one of our favorite pantry staples, and this vinaigrette will prove why. Make a big batch of both the roasted veggies and dressing – they keep well in the fridge and make for amazing leftover possibilities.
