Recipes


Autumn Grain Salad

Any vegetable you have on hand can be roasted for this salad. Since all the components of this salad are so flavorful — roasted vegetables, caramelized onions and marinated kale — you don’t really need a dressing. I usually just season to taste after mixing it all together.

1 cup rice, bulghur or quinoua, cooked
1 ¼ cup water
salt
½ a medium butternut squash, peeled and cut ¾ inch dice
3 medium red peppers, seeded and cut in 1 inch pieces
Olive oil
Black pepper
2 red onions, thickly sliced
1 tablespoon balsamic vinegar, plus more to taste
8 kale leaves, thinly sliced
Juice of half a lemon
2 teaspoons unpasteurized apple cider vinegar, plus more to taste

Pre-heat oven to 400 degrees Fahrenheit.

Line 2 rimmed baking sheets with parchment paper. Place squash on one tray and peppers on the other. Drizzle 2 tablespoons of olive oil over each tray and sprinkle with a pinch of salt and pepper. Toss the squash until evenly coated with oil and repeat with the peppers.

Place in the oven and roast for 30 to 35 minutes. Stirring and rotating trays half way through roasting. Remove from oven and set aside.

In a skillet over medium heat. Warm 1½ tablespoons of olive oil and add onions. Allow onions to brown a little before stirring. Add a pinch of salt and cook for 8 to 10 minutes, stirring every minute or so. Remove from heat and stir in balsamic vinegar.

Place the kale in a medium bowl and add a pinch of salt, lemon juice, cider vinegar and 2 teaspoons olive oil. Mix well, massaging the kale until it begins to wilt.

Place the cooked quinoa in a large bowl and fluff with a fork, stir in the caramelized onions. Add the roasted squash, peppers and marinated kale. Toss to combine and taste for seasoning, you may want to add a little more vinegar, salt and pepper. Sprinkle with pumpkin seeds and serve.

Serves 4 to 6
