I used the sour cream and onion dressing from this recipe for everything, I love it! Easy to make and just delicious, great with potatos and any other veggie I have used it with.
yay!
Do you let the roasted vegetables cool before dressing?
yes, just a bit
I don’t know what I was thinking, turning the oven on to 425 degrees when it was 82 degrees outside! But it is very tasty. Think I will save it for winter meals….thank Richa!
Made this tonight and added lemon zest/fresh parsley and used your vegan sour cream recipe. It was just terrific! Thank you for these inspirations!
