Jazz up your basic green salad with this roasted vegetable salad with an addicting lemon garlic tahini sauce. It's Whole 30, paleo, gluten free and dairy free.

I'm always trying to cram more vegetables in my diet.

Of course, vegetables are full of vitamins and health benefits, but really, I just love how they taste.

I jammed about a dozen veggies in this week's roasted vegetable salad with lemon tahini.

My weekly meals often come together while I'm at the farmer's market, seeing what's fresh and what's in sesason.

I'm lucky to live in Southern California where we have such a diverse choice of vegetables to choose from all year round.

No matter where you live though, you can swap your favorite vegetable in this whole 30-friendly salad.

I don't want to think about winter yet, but you can use squash and tubers in this vegetable salad.

The lemon tahini will be a great dressing on whatever you choose.

Grill your veggies or throw them in the oven to roast.

You can switch up the spices, but I really liked the oregano and thyme on the cauliflower and onion.

Make it work for you, no matter the season!
