For the Salad:

2 Carrots, peeled and chopped

2 cups Cauliflower Florets, chopped
2 cups Broccoli Florets chopped
4 cups Arugula
2 tbsp. Olive Oil
1/2 cup Lentils, cooked and cooled
Feta Cheese, for serving

For the Dressing:

1/2 cup Plain Greek Yogurt
Juice of 1 Lemon

Instructions

Preheat oven to roast 425F. Line a large baking pan with parchment paper.
Add the chopped carrots, red onion, cauliflower, and broccoli florets on to the prepared pan. Drizzle the olive oil over the veggies. Toss together the vegetables so they are evenly coated in the olive oil. Season with salt and black pepper.
Bake for 15-20 minutes, or until tender. Remove from oven and set aside to cool.
In the meantime, make the salad dressing by simply whisking all ingredients together until smooth. Season with salt and black pepper to taste. Add water to thin out the dressing to desired preference.
