This is wonderful! Love the colours and flavours. Can't wait to make this with veggies from my garden. It's almost time to plant here in California! I do have golden and chiogga beets, carrots, and lettuce growing in my garden now, onions and garlic are growing but won't be ready until June. Roasted garlic with orange juice is wonderful on the beets-yummy. Great dressing olive oil and balsamic. This is a great dressing for a green tossed salad as well. Do you peel the asparagus? Just bought some asparagus today - only $1.49 a pound so yummy. Roasted veggies taste so yummy! This is a great and healthy recipe. Thanks once again for a great recipe. Shanti/Mary-Anne
