Notes: This salad illustrates fall veggies in a totally new light. Crunchy sprouts, creamy roasted squash, crispy apples and pomegranate, salty feta and spicy pumpkin seeds combine in a totally unexpected way. During the pandemic, eating meals at home has become the new norm.
This salad will awaken your taste buds. Enjoy! Please feel tree to edit as needed.
My creative juices have been diverted of late to developing children's sized mittens from boiled wool from old sweaters and lined with cashmere for the Highfield Hall holiday bazaar.
(A note from Peggy Wolman: Along with being a wonderful cook, Joan's mittens for adults and children are the best!)
