Notes
This works perfectly as a warm salad or can be served at room temperature for entertaining
Add grilled chicken or lamb if you want to turn it into a more substantial meal
The lemon dressing is key and pairs perfectly with the roasted vegetables, giving a fresh lift for the long weekend
Great for prepping ahead and serving across the weekend
