Fall is slowly rolling in and we can see hints of it on the farm- squash, pumpkins, root vegetables, greens, and more.  Roasting the delicata squash, red radishes, and fingerling potatoes to put on top of the beautiful arugula creates a vibrant autumn salad that is full of flavor.

Autumn Harvest Salad

Ingredients:
2 delicata squash
6-7 red radishes
2 cups fingerling potatoes
1 onion
2 Tbsp olive oil
1 tsp sea salt
½ tsp black pepper
½ tsp garlic powder
1/8 tsp cayenne pepper
½ lb arugula (or salad greens)

Toasted Pumpkin Seeds:
½ cup pumpkin seeds
½ Tbsp olive oil
½ Tbsp maple syrup
1/8 tsp sea salt

Dressing:
1/3 cup apple cider vinegar
2/3 cup olive oil
1 Tbsp maple syrup
½ tsp sea salt
¼ tsp black pepper
Pinch cayenne pepper
4 cloves roasted garlic**

  • Prepare all produce.
    • Delicata squash- Slice into ½ inch thick rounds. Remove seeds and discard.
    • Radishes- Remove stems and slice into ¼ inch thick rounds.
    • Potatoes- Slice into ½ inch thick rounds.
    • Onion- Peel skin. Slice into ½ inch thick rounds.

  • Place squash, radishes, potatoes, and onions in large bowl. Add oil and seasonings.  Toss to coat.
  • Transfer the produce to a large baking sheet. Spread into a single layer.  Bake for 25 minutes, flipping after 15 minutes.

  • While the vegetables are roasting, prepare the pumpkin seeds. In a small bowl, mix the seeds with the oil, maple syrup, and salt.  Spread onto a small baking sheet in a single layer.  Roast in the oven (425°F) for 3-4 minutes.  Remove and let cool.

  • Prepare dressing by mixing all ingredients in a blender until well combined.
  • **To roast a bulb of garlic (for dressing)- slice off the top stem and a little bit of the bulb to expose the top of the cloves.  Drizzle on ½ tsp of olive oil.  Place in foil and close it around the bulb.  Bake at 425°F for 30 minutes. Once cool enough to handle, the roasted cloves will squeeze right out of the papery bulb.

  • Place the arugula in a large bowl or on a serving platter. Top with roasted vegetables (can be served warm or allowed to cool first).

  • Sprinkle with toasted pumpkin seeds.  Drizzle on the dressing.
  • Enjoy!
