Roasted Vegetable & Baby Greens Salad with Grapefruit-Gremolata Vinaigrette
There's a moment in every roasted-vegetable salad where warm and cool meet — caramelized carrots and blistered tomatoes tumbled over cold, crisp greens, all pulled together by a vinaigrette that's equal parts bright and herbaceous.

It eats like a light lunch and dresses up a holiday table just as easily.
Ingredient Spotlight. Our Grapefruit White Balsamic Vinegar is tart and faintly floral — it keeps this dressing from ever tasting heavy. Whisked with our Milanese Gremolata Infused Olive Oil, which carries lemon peel, garlic, and parsley in every drop, you get a vinaigrette that tastes like it took far more effort than it did.
Ingredients
- 7 oz baby mixed greens
- 1 lb baby carrots
- 1 pint grape tomatoes
- 2 red onions, cut into 12 wedges
- ¼ cup Coratina Medium EVOO, for roasting
- 1 large grapefruit, peeled and segmented
- 2 oz artisanal cheese, shaved
- ½ cup walnuts, toasted (optional)
- Sea salt
- Vinaigrette: ¾ cup Milanese Gremolata Infused Olive Oil · ¼ cup Grapefruit White Balsamic Vinegar · ⅛–¼ tsp sea salt
Instructions
- Heat oven to 425°F. Spread the carrots, tomatoes, and onion wedges on a sheet pan, toss with the Coratina Medium EVOO and a little salt, and roast 20 minutes until tender and caramelized. Cool slightly and separate the onion layers.
- Whisk the Gremolata oil, Grapefruit balsamic, and salt into a smooth vinaigrette.
- Toss the greens, roasted vegetables, walnuts, and grapefruit segments with just enough dressing to coat.
- Pile onto a platter, shower with shaved cheese, and finish with a last drizzle of the vinaigrette right before serving.
Chef's Notes
- Segment the grapefruit over a bowl and add a spoonful of its juice to the dressing for extra brightness.
- Roast the vegetables ahead and serve them at room temperature — never fridge-cold.
Make It Yours
- Swap the walnuts for a handful of our Everything Nut Crumbs for a savory, seedy crunch.
