3. Spread them on a baking sheet and roast for 25 minutes or until tender and caramelized.
4. In a small bowl, whisk together 2 tablespoons of Pompeian Robust Extra Virgin Olive Oil, Pompeian Red Wine Vinegar, Dijon mustard, honey, salt, and pepper until smooth and emulsified.
5. In a large bowl, start with a layer of fresh mixed greens.
6. Add the cooked wild rice, then top with the roasted veggies, dried cranberries, and goat cheese (if using).
