The dressing is just an olive oil mixture which is very simple.

1. Coat your veggies in the bowl with 3 tbs of olive oil. If that is not enough, add more oil.
2. Add 1/2 teaspoon of salt, if not enough add more. You want your vegtables to be relatively salty.
3. Add as much pepper as you please, some people like more or less so its upto your preference.
4. Add 1/4 teaspoon of garlic powder and add paprika to your liking.
5. Mix well and let sit for 5 minutes so flavours can incorporate.
