My go-to motto for veggies is “when in doubt, just roast it.” Even in the summertime, this is a delicious alternative to grilling or raw crudites and salads. This roasted salad includes all the quintessential summer flavors of corn, beans, tomatoes, and squash, tossed with a chunky, spiced, peppery sauce. A terrific complement to those last seasonal bbq potlucks.
