Roasted Curry Vegetable Salad
YIELD Serves 4
When I was at the farmers' market this past week, I was enthralled by some of the odd root vegetables. There were wide varieties of radishes, turnips, and potatoes that I had never tried. In an effort to educate myself on these unknown treats, I roasted a regular smorgasbord of vegetables and learned some new facts along the way.
For instance, one of the veggies I picked up, the watermelon radish was an unexpected bright pink color when I cut into it. While I should have been aware of it by its demystifying name, the dull brownish skin gave no indication of the beauty found within.
This recipe is a great way to use watermelon radishes or a variety of other root vegetables. You can adjust the recipe to use whatever you find in your market.
