Roasted Vegetable Salad with Chickpeas and Honey Lemon Dressing

Directions

1. Preheat oven to 450 degrees F. Spray 2 baking sheets with olive oil cooking spray.
2. In a large mixing bowl, combine sweet potato, carrots, shallots, cauliflower, and thyme. Drizzle garlic oil over the vegetables and toss well. Transfer vegetables to prepared baking sheets, placing them in an even layer.
3. Roast until lightly browned and tender, about 30 to 35 minutes. (This step maybe done one day ahead; vegetables can be refrigerated until the salad is assembled.) Transfer to a large bowl and add chickpeas.
4. While vegetables are roasting, prepare the dressing. In a medium bowl, whisktogether all the dressing ingredients until smooth; set aside. Alternately, combinethe ingredients in a jar with a tight-fitting lid and shake until smooth and evenly blended.
5. Pour dressing over the vegetables. Cover with a layer of spinach. Sprinkle almonds over the spinach, if using. Cover and refrigerate. This salad is best served at room temperature, so remove from fridge 1 hour before serving. Toss well just before serving.
