The sky is grey and the nights are cold so it’s time to make zesty winter salads to pick us up and keep us going until spring. Last night I made a salad that was good enough that my family kept eating way beyond politeness.
Easy and tasty!
Ingredients
- Emmer or wheat berries
- Delicata squash
- Kale – from your garden!
- Cranberries
- Onion
- Garlic
- Toasted nuts
- Olive oil
- Vinegar
- Salt
First cook your grain until it just has a little bite to it. (I used a crockpot on high for a couple of hours.) Next toast the nuts; any kind work well. Break up the kale and massage it. Roast the squash in a 450 degree oven with or without the skins. Chop up the onions then make a vinaigrette with the olive oil, vinegar and garlic. Once all the ingredients are ready just toss them together with the dressing and let it sit for a little bit to allow the flavors to blend. Yum!!
I'd love to hear from you!
