Embrace the winter chill with these 5 hearty salad recipes that combine roasted vegetables, grains, and seasonal produce for a comforting twist on traditional salads
When the temperatures drop, many people pack away the salad bowl in favour of soups, stews and casseroles. But winter salads can be just as comforting, especially when they're made with roasted vegetables, grains, warm proteins and seasonal produce.
Whether you're looking for a light lunch, a healthy dinner side or a dish to impress at your next family braai, these winter salad ideas are packed with flavour, texture and nutrients.
Nothing says winter quite like sweet roasted butternut. Pair it with baby spinach, creamy feta and crunchy pumpkin seeds for a salad that's both filling and colourful.
Roast the butternut at 200°C for 30-35 minutes until tender and caramelised. Allow it to cool slightly before tossing it with spinach, feta and pumpkin seeds. Finish with a drizzle of balsamic glaze.
