Directions:1. The Vegetables: Preheat oven to 400ºF. In a large shallow pan (a half-sheet pan works well), toss together the red peppers, onion and zucchini with the olive oil and generous sprinklings of salt and pepper, and the sage. Spread the vegetables out in an even layer. Roast until they are tender-crisp, about 20 to 30 minutes. Don't overcook. Remove from the oven and set aside. If storing in the refrigerator, rewarm them in the oven before topping the salad.
2. The Dressing: In 10-inch skillet combine the garlic, stock, sugar, and balsamic vinegar. Boil 2 minutes, or until reduced by 1/4. Cool completely, then stir in olive oil, and salt and pepper to taste. Set aside.
3. Divide the greens among 6 dinner plates. Arrange the roasted vegetables on top of the greens and sprinkle with the scallions, salami, and nuts. Spoon the dressing over the salads. Dollop spoonfuls of cheese over all. |
