A tasty variety OF satisfying ingredients
Just as with cool salads, warm salads can contain a variety OF ingredients AND HAVE a dressing. While THE base may BE firmer veggies, such as cubes OF squash or potato or Brussels sprouts, you can add greens, cheeses, AND meats, much like a cool salad. You can BE just as creative with a warm salad as you can with a cool salad, AND THE abundance OF vegetables means lots OF excellent vitamins.5206 Just about any veggie you can think of!3258 3792 Choose two OF THE following ingredients:2190 Cheese: Romano or goat cheese6996 2577 8491 8090 4606 2. Then toss THE bread with a tablespoon or SO OF olive oil AND spread it OUT on a second rimmed baking sheet. Put both THE veggies AND THE bread cubes IN THE oven. Roast THE veggies FOR about 20 minutes (some caramelization around THE edges is good, AND potatoes AND squash should BE just tender), AND toast THE bread FOR about 10 minutes.2404 Warm chicken salads6355 Potatoes or sweet potatoes, peeled AND cut into 1/2-inch cubes4499 2724 3. While THE veggies AND bread are IN THE oven, make THE vinaigrette using THE olive oil, vinegar OF your choice, THE shallots AND salt AND pepper. Remember that THE bread will absorb some, SO make a little more than usual.5394 Salt AND pepper7383
How TO build a warm salad
Serves 4 TO 64072 4. Put THE greens IN a large serving bowl. Just before THE veggies come OUT OF THE oven, AND after THE bread cubes HAVE cooled a touch, add THE bread cubes TO THE bowl. As soon as THE veggies are OUT OF THE oven add them IN TO THE bowl AND toss a couple OF times. Add THE vinaigrette AND toss well. THE greens will wilt just a bit. Sprinkle THE bacon or prosciutto AND cheese over THE top AND serve.4006 1549 1575
