Roasted Marrow Salad with Black Olives and Lemon Oil

I thought I had shared all my marrow recipes last month, but must have missed this somehow, saying that though I do still have one marrow remaining in the vegetable basket.

I made this Roasted Marrow Potato Salad with Black Olives a couple of weeks back around the same time I made the Marrow Lemon Conserve.

This Roasted Marrow Potato Salad with Black Olives  wasn't anything special, but it made for a change from the typical pasta salads that I make for work.  It was also a good way to use up some left over potatoes and my marrow aka summer squash harvest from the garden.  The dressing was simple, an oil vinaigrette made with Azada Lemon oil.

I am sharing this with Soups, Salads and Sammies hosted by Kahakai Kitchen; and with Eat Your Greens.
