Who doesn’t love a good roasted vegetable salad? This one is tossed with potatoes in a light and flavorful dressing that will surely be a hit at your next gathering!
*************
I know you guys have been eagerly anticipating this roasted vegetable salad recipe…
As I was making this on Monday morning, I couldn’t help but have the feeling that this could be one of those recipes that’s either a huge hit or a HUGE miss. I already knew I loved all of the ingredients in there, but I guess I was a little curious to see how they’d all work together in this chilled, healthy side dish.
But I put it out on the table yesterday, crossed my fingers, and let everyone dig in. Thankfully, the reviews were nothing but positive, and I must agree…this dish is incredible. You could serve it warm, I’m sure, but personally, I think it’s great chilled for a warm, summer day.
Plus, there’s an added bonus…no mayo or creamy ingredients in this bad boy, so you don’t have to worry about leaving it outside for too long. Score!
Healthy Roasted Potato and Veggie Salad
Ingredients
Salad Ingredients:
- 1-1/2 pounds red potatoes cut into large chunks
- 1-1/2 teaspoons olive oil
- 2 medium zucchini sliced lengthwise then cut in half
- 1 small red onion sliced
- 1/2 cup frozen corn thawed
- 1 cup grape tomatoes halved
- 1/2 cup chopped celery
Dressing Ingredients:
- 2 tablespoons Dijon mustard
- 2 tablespoons cider vinegar
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 2 tablespoons fresh basil chopped
- 3/4 teaspoon seasoned salt
- 1/2 teaspoon ground black pepper
Instructions
- Directions:
- Preheat oven to 425 degrees F. Spray a baking sheet with non-stick cooking spray.
- Place potatoes and 1 teaspoon of oil in medium bowl, toss to coat, and pour onto baking sheet in a single layer. Bake for 10 minutes, stir, and bake another 10 minutes.
- While potatoes are baking, place zucchini and onions in bowl and toss with remaining 1/2 teaspoon oil. After 20 minutes, remove potatoes from the oven, stir, and push to one side of the pan. Add zucchini, onions, and corn. Return to oven for 15 more minutes, so potatoes are tender. Remove pan and allow to cool slightly.
- Combine the dressing ingredients in a small bowl and whisk to combine. Place cooked vegetables in a large bowl, add tomatoes and celery, pour dressing over salad and toss to coat. Refrigerate at least 30 minutes. Enjoy!
This would be great to bring to a potluck, or even to just make for at home during the week. I bet it’d be delicious if you tossed in some rotisserie chicken, too…then you’d have yourself a meal!
Now, I think I’m gonna go spoon out some leftovers to have with lunch.

Delicious! I have never ate potato salads since I am not a Mayo fan, but also not overly a potato fan. But I will have to try this recipe, looks perfect for a BBQ night.

I love salads that are not mayo based!
Michelle@Peachy Palate says
Love the mixture of the cooked and raw veggies, sounds yum!
Kristen @ notsodomesticated says
Yum! I love the sound of this. I’m not into mayo-based potato salads … not because mayo is “so” bad for you or anything, but just because I’ve never liked the taste. So this one sounds way better to me!! :)

Yesss I do love this kind of salad because it’s refreshing, chunky, and hearty! I’ve tried something similar to this (mostly the dressing on veggies), and it was good. I know that feeling when I’m just crossing my fingers and already thinking, “ahhh they probably hate it!” :P

I also bought Russet potatoes by mistake!! Do you think those would work or are red potatoes the way to go?
Courtney says
red potatoes are my personal favorite, but I’m sure the russets would be fine if you already have them
