Roast Potato Salad

I love roast vegetables. I don't mean any kind of subtle love one would usually reserve for inanimate objects, I mean of the sort that had Romeo drink poison when he thought that Juliet was dead. So here is another salad with it in them.

Ingredients

200 grams Potato (Small clean baking ones, cut into suitably mouth sized pieces with the skin on)
1 Tomato (Large, lovely and ripe)
1 Carrot (Medium, coarsely grated)
1 Spanish onion (Diced. Also called Red Onion)
100 grams Sundried tomato (Om nom nom)
50 grams Pinenut kernel
1⁄2 cup Kalamata olives
2 cups Baby spinach
4 tablespoons Olive oil
3 tablespoons Balsamic vinegar
2 teaspoons Dijon mustard
2 cloves Garlic (Finely minced)
1 pinch Thyme
1 pinch Black Pepper
