Roasted Spiral Root Vegetable Salad with Citrus Dressing

Earthy beets, rutabagas and slightly sweet carrots are a winning combination, especially when they are tossed with a citrus dressing with the bright flavors of orange and lemon juice. This salad is also tasty if a green apple spirals are tossed with the roasted vegetables.

I always wanted to use a spiralizer to make colorful salads. Spring is here and I think the time has come to get stuffed with healthy food. I got the GoodGrips Spiralizer from OXO and today my son and I had so much fun twisting the vegetables! My big helper liked my “spaghetti” and he was happy to help me out with a preparation and tasting.

Rutabagas, also known as Swede turnips, are a cool-weather vegetable very similar to turnips, except that rutabagas are larger and their smooth cabbage like leaves are not edible.

Ingredients

  • 2 carrots, peeled, spiral cut (small blade)
  • 1 medium beet, peeled, spiral cut (small blade)
  • 2 sweet potatoes, spiral cut (large blade)
  • 1 rutabaga, peeled, spiral cut (small blade)
  • salt ans pepper for roasting
  • 3-4 Tbsp. olive oil for roasting
  • sesame seeds for serving
  • For the orange dressing:
  • juice from 1 orange
  • juice from 1/2 lemon
  • 1/4 cup vegetable oil
  • 1/2 tsp. ground ginger
  • 2 garlic cloves
  • fresh chives to taste
  • salt and black pepper to taste

Instructions

1

Preheat the oven to 375ºF.

2

Put all the vegetables in a baking tray. Season well with salt and black pepper, drizzle generously with olive oil, and toss them with your hands to coat them evenly. Roast the vegetables lightly, about 15-20 minutes, they will still have a crunch.

3

To make the orange dressing: mix all ingredients in food processor just for about 20 seconds. Store in a jar in refrigerator, until ready to use.

4

Serve the roasted vegetables with sesame seeds and chopped chives, drizzle with orange dressing.

    Hi, Yelena! This apparatus seems to be much fun! I bet the taste becomes even better because of the spaghetti-like shapes of the veggies, doesn't it?! Smart bowl full of vitamins! 🙂
    Cheerz,

    Did you serve this warm or cold? Do you think I could make it a day ahead and serve at room temp?

    I am looking for the perfect Thanksgiving spiralizer recipe and think this with a few cranberries could be it!

    Thank you!

    You may serve it warm or cold, I like it both way. You can make it ahead, but it the best when you serve it on the same day! Have an amazing holiday!
