Gardening all day had me craving something light. Roasted Potato salad with oil-free creamy cilantro dressing. | Roasted sweet potatoes, russets, and carrots over an organic spring mix. Simply roast the root veggies at 425 Fahrenheit with a little oil and touch of salt and pepper and until tender and serve with the dressing below. This makes a good salad to layer into a jar for a portable light lunch, place the dressing on the bottom of the jar, layer with veggies, top with greens, and shake when ready to eat!

This one sounds amazing. I am going to try this tonight. How long do you think I can store this for in the fridge? This is a great recipe! Thanks for creating this recipe for me, I have recently developed problems with dairy products (a little milk in my coffee each morning is all I can handle) so am looking for dairy free recipes. I will surely try it out. I can already imagine it on my breakfast toast or on some bean salad… yummy
Hello! I’m sorry for the late response. I haven’t had it long enough to go bad but I’d say 5 days is safe 🙂 Also, if you ever see Silk brand soy creamer (original flavor) give it a try. Cream in my coffee was the thing I missed most after going vegan because nothing else compared but then I found this one and it’s my favorite. (although since I went vegan, soooo many new ones have come out) https://silk.com/products/original-soy-creamer
