Fall Harvest Salad

Chopped kale, julienned carrots, parsnips and peppers tossed with plums, blueberries and a tangy dressing…
Our FALL HARVEST SALAD is a cornucopia of healthy, delicious flavours!
The experts aren’t wrong – every one of us should be boosting our intake of fresh fruits and veggies, and this easy FALL HARVEST SALAD promises just that. Thankfully, it’s also a lovely vegetarian recipe option. Enjoying a second helping of the wondrous mix is not only expected and but good for us too! Who can resist?
This recipe is pretty special and is one of those ones that we want the entire world to enjoy. Please remember to PIN it to a favourite Pinterest board and SHARE it with friends.
Here are a few things to remember when you go to make it:
VEGGIE LOVE
Check out this photo of the ingredients needed to make this salad. If there’s ever been a moment of veggie love, this is it! All the vegetables used in this salad are good for us, so don’t be shy. The more the merrier!
Fresh KALE is loaded with vitamins A, K and C, plus essentials like calcium, manganese, potassium and magnesium. Wow, that’s a lot of goodness promised with each and every bite!
Similarly, same goes for the peppers, carrot and parsnips. These vegetables are loaded with essential vitamins and minerals that together help support a healthy diet. Notice not a single thing is cooked, roasted or boiled. A raw vegetable salad ensures all the nutrients make it to your tummy. Yay!
JULIENNE
We love the sweet flavour julienned carrot and parsnip add to this salad. Although you can prepare the carrots and parsnips using a box or flat grater, if you have a vegetable mandoline in your kitchen arsenal, now’s the time to use it. I’ve also provided a link to purchase a vegetable mandoline in the Amazon section below.
DRESSING
We’ve discovered that the taste of the kale is best tamed by adding a bit more vinegar to the dressing than you might normally use, along with the surprise bonus of wild blueberries and cinnamon. Well, that’s just our way of pushing the flavour profiles off the charts. Wait until you try it!
THE FINAL TOSS
Including plums in this salad right before you toss adds some serious flavour to this harvest meal idea. Plums get top marks for their unique sweetness and are in keeping with the seasonal theme of this glorious salad. Also, we can’t get enough of their rich, varied colour.
Speaking of things to try, how about some seasonal meal ideas that will go perfectly with this salad? One of my favourite soups of all time, our CURRIED SQUASH SOUP, is absolutely two-bowl worthy. We also think our VEGETABLE CURRY and HOMEMADE TOMATO SOUP are pretty special too.
This salad is a favourite for special occasions and get-togethers with friends. Go to the bottom of this page to see three main course ideas that pair perfectly with it.
Our FALL HARVEST SALAD is a gathering of the season’s freshest flavours. Enjoy!
