I know, it’s Fall and feels like Winter and definitely the time for comfort food. Comfort food like soups and stews and casseroles are the usual things that come to mind but this salad may also provide you with the comfort you need.
Butternut squash is one of my favourite things to roast and I feel like adding that to anything just makes things heartier. I love the addition of the squash to a bowlful of arugula with accompaniments like pomegranate. Of course, you need to have some cheese and fried brie is the perfect touch. Fried brie…oh so good!
The whole bowl is made complete with a handful of pecans for some crunch and a dressing made with pomegranate molasses, honey and mustard. This makes two meal salads or four side salads. Who says salad is a summer thing?
