Winter Vegetable Salad with Roasted Butternut Squash, Brussels Sprouts, and Beets is a great recipe for a cold Winter night! It’s also a festive side dish for the holiday menu, such as Thanksgiving and Christmas. This recipe is healthy, vegetarian, gluten-free, and packed with fiber!
Winter Vegetable Salad
Since this is a winter vegetable salad, it is not packed with leafy greens, such as spinach, arugula, or kale, as you would normally expect in the Spring or Summer. Instead, the recipe features roasted winter root vegetables, such as butternut squash and beets, and leaf vegetables such as Brussels sprouts.
The vegetables are tossed with toasted pecans and dried cranberries and then coated with Balsamic based dressing creating the ultimate Winter salad. My other winter favorites are butternut squash and spinach salad and winter fruit salad with maple-lime dressing.
Perfect Holiday Salad
Colorful ingredients. This winter vegetable salad is bursting with colors, flavors, and seasonal ingredients making it a perfect side dish for the holidays. The crispy and crunchy salad will add vibrancy to your holiday menu. Dried cranberries provide a sweet contrast to the savory Brussels Sprouts and roasted butternut squash. Toasted pecans add a bit of crunch.
An interesting addition to the traditional holiday menu. This salad is also unique enough that it will make your holiday menu that much more interesting. It’s a perfect addition to traditional Thanksgiving recipes, such as green beans, potatoes, and stuffing. It is also a unique side dish to serve with Christmas main courses, such as ham or prime rib.
