Sheet Pan Veggies with Juniper Dressing

A flexible dressing for winter salads and vegetable roasts.

Juniper berries (they’re not really berries) are the primary flavor of gin, and have a rich cultural and culinary history in North America. Their flavor reminds me of citrus peels, pine needles, and deeply toasted sunflower seeds. This is a bare-bones recipe that lets their flavor shine in a dressing for winter salads and vegetable roasts. Make this to top a grain bowl or accompany small Winter game.

“hmmm. needs more juniper.” - me, while testing this recipe
