Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 (10-ounce bag) cruciferous salad blend, I used Trader Joe's Cruciferous crunch with Brussels, broccoli, kale and cabbage

  • 1 1/2 cups roasted winter squash, I used delicata squash
  • 2 ribs celery, thinly sliced

  • 1 1/2 cups candied pecans
  • 1/2 cup lightly salted pepitas
  • 1/4 cup dried cherries, roughly chopped
  • 1/4 cup sweet dried mandarins, roughly chopped
  • 1/2 cup pickled cranberries
  • 1/2 cup feta, sliced into small wedges or crumbled

For the dressing

  • juice of 2 small oranges
  • juice of 1 lime
  • 1/4 cup olive oil
  • 1 jarred roasted red bell pepper, roughly chopped
  • 2 green onions, quartered
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 tablespoon freshly peeled and grated turmeric OR 1/2 teaspoon dried
  • 2 teaspoons poppy seeds

Instructions

  1. Toss the cruciferous mix and the thinly shredded kale together on a large platter to combine. Arrange the roasted squash, celery, carrots, wedges of egg, pecans, pepitas, dried cherries, dried mandarins, pickled cranberries and feta in rows across the top of the greens. Serve immediately with dressing or cover with plastic wrap and store for up tp 1 day.

Make the dressing

  1. Combine the orange juice, lime juice, olive oil, roasted red bell pepper, green onions, salt and turmeric in a high powder blender. Blend until smooth. Transfer to a jar and add the poppy seeds. Secure a lid tightly on the jar then shake to combine. Serve immediately or store in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. The dressing will separate in the fridge, simply shake to combine.
