Roasted Veggie Bowl with Tahini Dressing
We love roasted vegetables for dinner. I especially love roasted vegetables because it is an easy meal prep! These recipes can easily be doubled or tripled to last for lunches for the week.
The tahini dressing is based on a Bon Apeptit. tahini ranch recipe. I listen to their FoodCast and they were talking about tahini ranch. I was so intrigued and looked up the recipe to find that there were no herbs in it. In my mind, thats hardly a ranch dressing. So I made my interpretation of the dressing and added dried dill (which I found to be a must in my homemade ranch… like real ranch). The dressing stays fresh for about 5 days in the fridge.
