Fall Harvest Salad

Thick Cut Bacon

Spring Mix

Gala

Granny Smith Apple ((sliced))

Cranberries

Feta Cheese

Walnuts

Tablespoons Sugar

Water

Tablespoons Apple Cider Vinegar

Orange Zest

Tablespoons Fresh Squeezed Orange Juice

Dijon Mustard

Tablespoons Pure Maple Syrup

Extra-Virgin Olive Oil

Preheat the oven to 400 degrees. Place a baking rack on a sheet pan and lay bacon slices on the rack. If you don&#39;t have a rack, use aluminum foil instead. Cook the bacon for about 20 minutes, depending on your desired level of crispiness. I prefer to cook my bacon for about 25 minutes. Carefully remove from the oven and place on a paper towel lined plate.

In a small saucepan, heat walnuts, sugar, and water over medium heat. Stir until the sugar and water create a thick coating around the walnuts. Remove from the pan and let cool on a piece of parchment paper or wax paper, sprayed with non-stick cooking spray.

In a large bowl, toss together spring mix, sliced apples, candied walnuts, cranberries, and feta or blue cheese. 

To make the dressing: whisk together vinegar, orange juice, orange zest, mustard, maple syrup, salt, and pepper. Drizzle in the extra-virgin olive oil.

When ready to serve, toss the salad with the dressing and top with the crumbled bacon.

Trim the ends off the squash, then cut in half. Scoop out the seeds, then slice into ½-inch (1 ¼ cm) cubes.

Spread the squash on a baking sheet, then add the olive oil, salt, pepper, nutmeg, and thyme and toss to coat.

Roast for 20 minutes, until tender and lightly browned. Remove from the oven and let cool completely.

Meanwhile, prepare the rest of the salad: Cut the head of radicchio in half, remove the core, then thinly slice.

Cut the pear in half, scoop out the core, then thinly slice.

Make the dressing: In a small bowl, whisk together the maple syrup, apple cider vinegar, and mustard. While whisking, slowly drizzle in the olive oil and continue whisking until emulsified. Whisk in the salt and pepper, then set aside.

In a large bowl, combine the radicchio, spinach, pear, dried cranberries, and cooled roasted squash. Drizzle some of the dressing over the salad and toss well to coat.

Divide the salad between serving plates, then top with the chopped toasted pecans and crumbled blue cheese. Serve immediately with the remaining dressing alongside.

For the butternut squash:  Preheat oven to 375° F. On a roasting pan, toss squash with olive oil to coat. Sprinkle with salt and pepper and toss again. Roast for 15 minutes. Stir. Roast for 15 minutes more and stir again. Roast an additional 10 minutes to fully soften and lightly caramelize the squash. Remove from oven and let cool. This can be prepared the day prior to serving. Just place cooled roasted squash in a container and refrigerate until ready to use.

For the maple pecans: In a nonstick skillet...

For the maple pecans:  In a nonstick skillet over medium to medium-high heat, toast the pecans for 3 to 5 minutes, or until warmed and fragrant. Drizzle maple syrup over pecans and stir to coat. Drizzle orange juice over pecans and stir to coat again. Spread pecans in an even layer in the skillet and cook for 2 minutes. Stir the pecans and cook for 2 minutes more.

Remove pecans to a plate and immediately sprinkle...

Remove pecans to a plate and immediately sprinkle with the sea salt. Separate the pecans and let cool completely. Leave pecans whole or chop them up a bit, if you like. These are best prepared the same day. If made the day prior, they will still be very good, but they won't have the same super crisp outer snap.

For the curry fig vinaigrette: Whisk all ingredients...

For the curry fig vinaigrette:  Whisk all ingredients until well combined. This can be prepared the day prior. Refrigerate in a covered jar or container until ready to use. Let come to room temperature before whisking to combine - it also works well to shake the vinaigrette vigorously in the covered jar!

To assemble the salad: Place half the greens...

To assemble the salad:  Place half the greens in a large salad bowl. Drizzle with some of the vinaigrette and then sprinkle on half the squash, half the cranberries, and half the goat cheese, followed by a sprinkling of salt and pepper. Add the rest of the greens, followed by the remaining squash, cranberries, and goat cheese. Drizzle with more of the vinaigrette. Sprinkle with flaky sea salt and freshly ground black pepper. You could also serve the vinaigrette on the side, instead of drizzling it on the salad, for individual servings. This would also help to preserve any leftover salad.

A mix of hearty greens, crunchy apples, wild rice and cooked veggies pair beautifully with this delicious apple vinaigrette for a satisfying autumn salad.

Harvest Salad + Apple Vinaigrette

wild rice*

potatoes

½ lb. fresh figs* (about 10)

cinnamon

cumin

kale* (washed and torn into small pieces)

radicchio (thinly sliced)

apple cider

walnuts

dates

Tablespoons apple cider vinegar

garlic (pressed)

sea salt

red pepper flakes

MAKE RICE: Rinse rice well under cool running water.  I used my instant pot with 3/4 cup rice and 1 cup water. 30 minutes on high, natural release.  It won&#39;t really save you much time, but the rice will come out PERFECT every time .If you&#39;re going to make the rice on the stovetop, add 1 1/2 cups water, bring to a boil. Reduce to simmer and cover.  Cook for 35 minutes, until all water has been absorbed.  Uncover, fluff with a fork.

ROAST SWEET POTATOES AND FIGS: Preheat oven to 400. Scrub sweet potatoes (no need to peel, just wash and pat dry) and cut into small wedges. Place on a rimmed baking sheet.  Drizzle on olive oil, cinnamon, cumin and sea salt. Toss well.  Roast for 10 minutes. Meanwhile, cut figs in half and if they&#39;re large, 1/2 again.  After 10 minutes, add figs to roasting pan and toss to coat with the oil/spices.  Place everything back in oven and roast for another 8-10 minutes, until everything is tender.

MAKE DRESSING: Place all ingredients into blender or food processor and blend until creamy and walnuts have been well incorporated.

PREP REMAINING PRODUCE: Tear or cut kale into bite sized pieces. Halve radicchio, cut out core, and thinly slice.  Cut apple in half, scoop out core/seeds and then thinly slice or cube.

ASSEMBLE SALAD:  Begin with the kale and massage it with your hands to soften.  Then add the radicchio, wild rice, roasted veggies and apples.Use a platter and artfully arrange ingredients then drizzle on dressing or toss everything together in a large bowl, using about 1/2 of dressing to begin with, adding more as needed.

Dressing will stay good in the fridge, in an airtight container for 2 weeks.

MEAL PREP:  Rice, roasted veggies and dressing can be made and stored separately up to 3 days in advance.  Greens and radicchio can be washed and cut, stored in an airtight container with a paper towel up to 3 days ahead.  Apple needs to be cut at the last minute, and also the salad can be assembled just before serving.

This Fall Harvest Salad is packed with so many delicious seasonal ingredients!  It's great for lunch and keeps well in the refrigerator for a few days.

curly kale, ribs removed and chopped up

chickpeas,

red onion

parsley

water oil

tahini

dijon mustard

garlic,

Pre-heat oven to 425 degrees F.  Peel butternut squash, but it in half, scoop out all the seeds and dice into bite size pieces.  On a large sheet pan, toss together butternut squash, olive oil and salt.  Roast squash until fork tender, 30-40 minutes.

Add all dressing ingredients to a small bowl, or jar, and mix until combined.  You may need to add extra water/oil depending on the consistency of your tahini.  The brand I buy is pretty liquidy.  Add chopped kale to a large bowl and drizzle on about 1 tablespoon of the dressing.  Use your hands to massage the dressing into the kale for about 30 seconds.

Next, add the roasted butternut squash and remaining ingredients and mix until combined.  Top with fresh parsley, if desired and drizzle on desired amount of salad dressing for your individual serving.
