Roasted Asparagus, Tomato, and Portobello Salad

About six months ago, we discovered the roasted asparagus, tomato, and portobello salad at Whole Foods and were instantly enamored. As a result, I was determined to recreate it at home. 

I studied the ingredient label, made a few estimations and adjustments, and ended up with a super easy and delicious side dish. It makes roughly six servings, so it is good for company or for leftovers.

Ingredients:
  • 2 bunches asparagus tips
  • 1 pound cherry tomatoes
  • 6-7 portobello mushrooms
  • 2 teaspoons seasoned salt
  • 1 teaspoon pepper
  • 1 tablespoon white wine vinegar
  • 1 cup olive oil 
  • [The Whole Foods version also includes what appears to be Italian seasoning. However, I'm not a huge Italian seasoning fan, so I leave it out. But you could add in a couple teaspoons if it floats your boat.]
First, cut the asparagus tips into halves or thirds depending on how long they are. 



Chop up the mushrooms. 


And add them to a big bowl with the tomatoes. 


 You could also cut the tomatoes in half. But I made this on a weeknight last time, and as I was about to start chopping them, all I could think was "ain't nobody got time for that." 

Next, add the seasoned salt...


Pepper...


Vinegar...


And olive oil...


Mix it all together. 


Spread it out onto a baking sheet. 


Cook at 350 for an hour or until all the veggies are nice and roasted. 



This is a super versatile dish that can be served alongside whatever you want. 

It was especially delectible with roasted pork tenderloin and cheesy polenta. 



So simple and so delicious. I love this stuff!
