Ingredients
- 8 ounces fresh asparagus, trimmed
- 3 medium carrots, peeled
- 1 medium red onion, sliced 1/2 inch thick
- Nonstick olive oil cooking spray
- Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
- 2 romaine hearts, finely chopped
- 1/2 head iceberg lettuce, finely chopped
- One 15-ounce can garbanzo beans, rinsed and drained
- 8 ounces shredded mozzarella (about 1 cup)
- 6 ounces Italian salami, chopped

- 1/2 cup extra-virgin olive oil
- 1/4 cup red wine vinegar
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F. Line 2 baking sheets with parchment paper.

Spray the vegetables generously with cooking spray and sprinkle with a few pinches of salt.

- When cool enough to handle, chop the roasted vegetables into 1/4 inch to 1/2 inch pieces and add to the salad. Add the dressing and toss thoroughly. Add salt and pepper to taste, if necessary.
