When my friend cooked dinner for me recently, I was amazed at the simplicity of the ingredients, yet the complex taste of the dish. I didn’t have to travel to a high-end Manhattan restaurant to find “one of the best salads I’ve ever eaten,” as I proclaimed. Nope, it was right there in a Brooklyn apartment kitchen where I watched simple and in-season come together for a filling, healthy supersalad.
By combining the earthiness of broccoli, cauliflower, butternut squash and Brussels sprouts with the tanginess of pomegranate seeds and balsamic, this dish incorporates the right ingredients at the right time and packs a surprising flavor. This sassy salad serves two as a main dish but can also serve four as a side dish.
