Roasted Vegetable Salad
This Roasted Vegetable Salad combines caramelized cauliflower, butternut squash, and Brussels sprouts with kale, cannellini beans, and pomegranate seeds for texture and bright flavor. A tangy champagne vinegar dressing with horseradish and garlic complements the natural sweetness of the roasted vegetables. Dried mulberries add subtle chewiness and a slight sweetness as a finishing touch.

- 2 cups cauliflower bite-size, florets
- 2 cups butternut squash chunks
- 3 cups Brussels sprouts halved
- 1 15 oz. cannellini beans rinsed and drained, can

Instructions
- Roast veggies: Heat oven to 400°F. Place cauliflower, butternut squash and brussels sprouts on a large baking sheet, spray with a little avocado oil spray or drizzle with oil, sprinkle with salt and pepper and toss to combine. Roast for 30-40 minutes or until veggies are until well caramelized and softened with a few golden brown spots. Stir once mid-way through the cooking process and watch closely so the veggies don’t burn.
- Prep dressing: While veggies are cooking, make the dressing: Combine all ingredients except the olive oil and whisk to combine. Slowly drizzle in the olive oil while whisking, set aside. Taste and add more olive oil, if needed.
- Prep salad: Remove vegetables from oven and allow to cool to room temperature, then combine in a large bowl with the beans, kale and pomegranate seeds. Toss in the dressing to evenly coat everything. You may find that you don’t need to use all of the dressing.
- Serve: Portion into bowls, top with mulberries and serve.
- Store: Salad will keep marinated for up to 2 days in the fridge.
Notes
- If champagne vinegar is not available, substitute with white wine vinegar, rice wine vinegar, or white balsamic vinegar without altering the salad's balance.
