ROASTED VEGETABLE SALAD

This cumin roasted vegetable salad was inspired by a similar salad I had visiting my mom and trying her new favorite restaurant in Sacramento. I love trying new, local restaurants (at home and when I'm traveling) and then trying to recreate my favorite flavor combos once I get home.
