Roasted Root Veggies and Lentil Salad
with cumin-spiced yogurt dressing
Rutabagas and parsnips are in season and they go so well with carrots, of course. Root vegetables are best roasted and we bring all these ingredients together with a cumin-spiced yogurt dressing.
Smarts: Chop veggies so they're about the same size, which means they'll cook more evenly.
