The warm delicata salad is everything I need for the summer to fall change. It’s full of fresh flavors from the arugula and the microgreens but also has the roasted, warmer, more comforting feeling from the Brussels and delicata. I love capturing change in what I eat. I think that when I eat this way, it helps me move through changes happening in life. I chose the cranberry juice in the dressing because it’s kind of like a hint that Christmas time is coming (if you celebrate that) because it all happens so fast-summer to fall to December. You can either make the pesto or just get some from the store. I used this pesto. Anyways, if you would like to try my super symbolic salad here’s the recipe…🥰
