I was in the mood for some roasted vegetables and wanted to create a recipe using them as a main dish salad that was warm. My tower garden, which is similar to the HGTC Vertical Hydrogarden, has really been producing this fall so I wanted to harvest some kale and mint from it for the recipe.

Tower Garden is an easy way to grow your own kale and herbs.

The mint from the tower garden added a sweet fresh element to this recipe and created another level of flavors that made this Roasted Carrot Chickpea Salad so delicious.
