Moroccan Vegetable Salad

Ingredients:

Mixed Vegetables ( I used 2 carrots, 2 zucchinis, and 1 eggplant)

2 Tbsp Olive Oil

1 Tbsp thyme

Salt and Pepper

8 oz Cherry tomatoes

Bag of spring mix greens

1 tbsp roasted pine nuts

Dressing:

large pinch of saffron threads

1 tbsp raisins

2 tbsp olive oil

1 tbsp red wine vinegar

1 tsp dijon mustard

Directions:

Heat the oven to 400 degrees

Soak Saffron threads in 2 tbsp water with the raisins (set aside)

Cut up veggies and put in a SHALLOW baking dish or pan.  Cover with olive oil, salt, pepper, and thyme

Roast for 30 minutes

Add the cherry tomatoes after 30 minutes to the cooking veggies

Broil to add crispness and color for 10 minutes longer

Add olive oil, vinegar, and mustard to saffron seeds and raisins to make the dressing

Toss the spring mix in a bowl and add the roasted veggies and dressing and pine nuts

ENJOY!

I added beans and avocado to my salad to make it hardier.  You do not have to.
