Roasted Autumn Harvest Salad
Roasted Autumn Harvest Salad
Roasting the fruits for this salad in a little balsamic vinegar and olive oil provides a beautiful depth of flavor and a natural sweetness that balances the acidity of the dressing. Once assembled, this is a stunning salad, and the toasted hazelnuts add a lovely crunch. Recipe courtesy of Danielle Walker.
