PREPARATION:
Roasted Vegetable Salad (do this step before starting the preparation):
1. Wash and dry the courgettes and aubergines and cut them into 2-3 cm cubes, without peeling them.
2. Peel the onion and cut off both ends. Place the onion cut side down on the cutting board and cut it in half lengthwise. If the onion is large, cut each half in half again and remove the petals.
3. Wash and dry the cherry tomatoes. Wash and dry the fennel and cut it into slices of about 1 cm crosswise.
4. If you did not purchase peeled and chopped pumpkin, peel it and cut it into medium cubes.
5. Arrange all the chopped vegetables on a baking tray.
6. Lightly crush the garlic cloves (no need to peel them). Add the garlic, rosemary and bay leaves.
7. Season with salt and pepper.
8. Drizzle with olive oil (enough to coat all the vegetables) and mix.
9. Place in the preheated oven and cook for 20 minutes.
10. Continue pre-preparation (point 4).

3. Squeeze the orange juice.
4. Add the orange juice and chopped onion to the lemon with salt.
5. Add the extra virgin olive oil in a drizzle, beating with a whisk or mixer to emulsify.
6. Season with pepper.

Roasted Vegetable Salad:
