If you’re looking for an awesome centrepiece of a salad look no further than this Roasted Winter Salad. It’s packed with winter ingredients and full of texture and flavour and will really make a beautiful visual on your holiday table.
Upgrade your holiday salad by throwing on some amazing winter ingredients like grapefruit and pomegranate. For fennel lovers this salad is for you! Roasting it takes some of the bitterness out if that’s a concern of yours.
This salad is packed with healthy fibre, iron, and potassium. If you want to indulge a bit you can swap the aquafaba out with olive oil, but just know that it practically doubles the calories in the salad. For those that don’t know aquafaba is the liquid in a can of chickpeas. If you cook your own, it’s the cooking liquid! Keep it in the fridge for uses like this or anything else you want to reduce your oil intake in.
This Roasted Winter Salad will be the talk of your holiday table. It goes great with my other holiday dishes on here including our Mushroom Leek Pie, Squash Galette, and you can wash that down with some Plant-Based Egg Nog and enjoy a Plant-Based Gingerbread for dessert. Celebrate the holidays and smash these delicious meals into your face!
