If using the eggs, cut them in half, give them a speck of salt and arrange over the salad. Garnish with red radishes and grate a little horseradish over the salad, if desired.

While the vegetables are roasting, put yogurt in a small bowl. Whisk in grated garlic, lemon juice and ½ teaspoon salt. Taste for seasoning, and add more lemon juice and salt as needed. * Step 3
Arrange the roasted vegetables artfully on a platter. Top with dollops of garlicky yogurt. Drizzle with more olive oil, apple cider vinegar and hot honey. Sprinkle with cumin seeds or sesame seeds, pomegranate seeds and chopped cilantro. Serve warm or at room temperature.
