This was delicious and so stinking easy! Loved that the roasted veggies were cherry tomatoes and corn - i.e. no prep. I used white wine vinegar in place of sherry vinegar, and we added some extra veggies we had in the fridge to the salad just to fill it out.
0 HelpfulYUM!! Didn't realize that sherry cooking wine isn't the same as sherry vinegar. My bad! Had to add honey to aid the sharpness. This was fantastic.
0 HelpfulI would bake the sweet potatoes for 10 minutes before mixing it with the other veggies. The sweet potatoes were still uncooked at 14 minutes.
