Giveaway and a salad recipe! Pacific Merchants sent me this beautiful wooden salad bowl and tongs set; see their handcrafted acacia wood pieces here.

I made a butternut and barley salad to go in mine, which would be a great addition to a Thanksgiving table but also fits the bill perfectly for the make-abead, complete-meal kinds of salads that I love to keep in the fridge for quick lunches, sides and snacks. It’s hearty and healthy and even vegan if made with vegetable stock.

The curry powder adds depth and a gentle heat, but if you’re not a fan of curry powder, it would be good with some ground cumin or coriander instead. I was lazy and used some storebought roasted pepitas, but if you like, you can follow this recipe for roasted pumpkin seeds using the butternut squash seeds that you just scraped out of the squash.  Waste not, want not, after all.

    I love to throw fall fruit into my salads – crisp apples and pears – paired with some goat cheese or gorgonzola and dried cranberries. Yum!

    i call it Arti-tom Chick-feta salad… Make a base of gluten free rotini or quinoa… A balsamic vinaigrette or pesto seasoning… Then load it up with red onion, bell pepper, feta, marinated artichoke hearts, sundried tomatoes in olive oil, and grilled cubed chicken, top with some nice pitted olives… It’s great hot or cold… Hot version I sauté the red onion and bell peppers in the olive oil from the sundried tomatoes, add chicken, then all the other ingredients… Mmmmmm… My favourite leftovers…

    My favorite fall salad is Waldorf Cabbage Salad.

    I heart all the salads, fall or otherwise, but a simple mix of greens with chopped apples, toasted almonds, and some black pepper is probably my favorite. Thanks for the giveaway opportunity!

    I don’t know if my salad of choice is technically a “fall” salad, but we love broccoli salad. Small pieces of broccoli with diced red onion, chopped (crispy!) bacon, and halved red grapes. I usually toss it with a dressing of a little mayo, apple cider vinegar, and a touch of sugar or honey. Thanks for the giveaway!! It is an absolutely beautiful set!!

    My latest favorite is your Vegan Caesar Salad. I also love your Quinoa Salad with Eggplant and Sesame.
    But I suspect that I’m going to love this one, too. I love salads made with grains.

    BTW, I recently heard a farmer say that butternut squash can be left on the counter for up to a year. I had no idea…I recently threw one out that I’d had for three months 8>(

    Maybe it’s not technically a salad, but I like to stir fry a bunch of fresh fall greens like bok choy, swiss chard, kale, spinach, etc. Add some roasted kohlrabi and a really good ginger dressing or some soy and/or fish sauce and it’s an awesome warm “salad.”

    Another favorite is a really simple spinach salad with grilled chicken strips, dried cranberries, and almonds. I usually use store bought Goddess dressing for that–but that’s not very original.

    I’ve recently been loving a fall salad that consists of granny smith apples, goat cheese, dried cranberries and roasted pumpkin seeds! I’m a freshman in college so on the weekends, I like to go home and cook up some delicious but yet light salads with my mom. My favorite past time for sure. Thanks, Hilah and congrats on your new bundle of joy! 🙂

    Ok, I’ve been making this Chik’n Caesar salad lately. I sear Beyond Meat’s Chik’n strips with sliced grape tomatoes with a dash of salt, pepper and thyme. Once done I dump all on a bed of romaine lettuce, arugula and purple cabbage then drizzle a vegan Caesar dressing I got from Sweetpea Baking (follow them on Instagram, they put out great recipes occasionally) all over it. It’s divine, and savory and textural and refreshing. Try it! Congrats on the baby and may the raffle gods rain down on me xoxo

    We love lentil-and-brown-rice salad (eaten hot or cold) – with sauteed onions, spices, and tangy yogurt or tzatziki on the side!

    I love winter salads inspired by pickled beets and dried cranberries with whatever greens I can find (lettuce, spinach, kale.. get some lemon juice on there), with goat cheese from the farmers market mmm! maybe some maple syrup? congrats on the bebe!

    My favorite fall salad definitely contains carrots, pine nuts, mushrooms, some kind of squash and pecans. I just add any greens and other vegetables if I can find any fresh ones. Then I make a dressing with balsamic vinegar, olive oil and some kind of nut oil (mostly walnut oil). I really like the nutty flavor, I think it tastes like fall.

    My favorite fall salad is so fabulous that it doesn’t have a name. (Actually, that’s because I never gave it one. Maybe I should?) It’s mixed greens with candied walnuts on top. Back in the old days when I ate dairy, I’d sprinkle a few blue chz crumbles on top too. A handful of dried cranberries and that’s it for the salad part. The dressing was also super simple. EVOO, lemon juice, splash of maple syrup, salt, pepper (lotsa pepper) and a super-fine diced shallot. Really, that’s it. And I love it. Boom!

    I got a couple of cabbages from my mom last time I was home, so I’ve been making a lot of no-mayo coleslaw with cabbage, carrot, red onion, red bell pepper, parsley, and an oil and white balsamic vinegar dressing. To make it a bit more autumnal, dried cranberries and sunflower seeds get added. Real tasty, and super pretty!

    Kale, tomato and orzo pasta salad. Fresh kale and tomatoes from the garden makes it even better.

    I crave fresh and zingy salads to accompany the rich comfort foods that are abundant this time of year. Tabbouleh is a favorite. All that parsley though makes it necessary to frequently check my grill, girl. Congratulations! I hope you’re both having a wonderful time with your new baby!

    An apple/celery/walnut/cottage cheese salad made with Miracle Whip and lemon juice. The new olive oil Miracle Whip really is good in this. I like it so well I even have it for breakfast.

    I love grain salads! Barley with corn, red bell pepper, basil, and a dressing made with champagne vinegar is a good one. But this looks better . . . .

    Classic spinach, red onions, toasted pecans, strawberries and crumbled feta with raspberry vinaigrette. Made it last Thanksgiving and it was a big hit with some folks who live under a rock and had never had it before!

    This is a recipe I found (for those that want to see quantities and instructions) that is similar to a salad I like to enjoy in autumn and winter. If I don’t have pears on hand, I’ll use apples. http://www.cookingclassy.com/2013/10/autumn-pear-salad-balsamic-vinaigrette/

    Kale cut in thin strips with matchstick pears, almond pieces sauteed in sugar, lemon juice and olive oil. YUM! Great for breakfast to get me going. I want it NOW! Along with that dang salad bowl.

    I love using the last of the season’s stawberries for a warm chicken & spinach salad, with blue or gorgonzola cheese. Just marinade the strawberries in some balsamic vinegar, saute chicken breasts in olive oil, and decide if you’d like nuts in your salad. Then toss everything together, with some baby spinach and cheese crumbles. So yummy!

    My favorite salad for all seasons is a potato salad. The mustard and vinegar kind. For fall I might try a German Potato salad – I think that’s what I’m picturing – like a warm potato salad. Definitely going to try this butternut barley salad, I’ve only tried butternut squash once ever, and this recipe seems nutritious, which I can definitely use more of!

  56. Anna Piland Avatar

    I love a roasted kabocha squash and caramelized red onions with some feta on a bed of greens. Add some balsamic glaze for good measure!
