4.71 27 Published Jan 29, 2021, Updated Jul 24, 2023 This particular salad recipe is inspired by Dr. Weil’s Autumn Ingredient Salad, which is on the menu at his restaurant, True Food Kitchen. I’ve had the pleasure of eating at True Food Kitchen a few times and while I’ve never ordered this salad, I love the restaurant. I’ve been hoping they’ll open one in Richmond someday. Andrew, if you’re reading this, will you please consider it?! I know you already have a location in Fairfax, Virginia… just come a little further south.

Substitutions & Notes
As you can probably tell from the ingredient list, this recipe is super straight forward, but it can be customized to your liking too! Vegetables – Have a different veggie on hand or want to add your favorite roasted vegetable? Have at it! Beans – I love the addition of cannellini beans here but you could try a different type of bean! I bet another white bean would work well or even chickpeas. Protein – The beans do add a good amount of protein to this salad but you could absolutely add a grilled protein to this salad to make it even more filling! This apple cider vinegar chicken would be delish. Mulberries – dried mulberries are the best for this salad, but if you have trouble finding them you can use another dried fruit like golden raisins or dried cranberries. Dressing – I highly recommend my horseradish dressing but any vinaigrette dressing would be delicious on this! Even my classic lemon vinaigrette or my apple cider vinegar dressing.
How to Make this Roasted Vegetable Salad
Make the dressing: If you haven’t already, make the dressing by combining all ingredients except the olive oil. Slowly drizzle the olive oil in while whisking and set dressing aside. Roast vegetables: 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. Assemble 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. Serve: Top with dried mulberries and serve.
