Fall Harvest Salad with Maple Tahini Dressing

Fall Harvest Salad With Maple Tahini Dressing

Harvest salads are a combination of vegetables and fruits that are harvested during the fall or autumn. There are many kinds of fall harvest salads, but this vegan version is the best.

Sweet potatoes, roasted vegetables, dried apricots, maple syrup, and roasted vegetables make this super simple vegan salad recipe perfect for fall. It’s also oil-free, so you can enjoy your favorite dishes without feeling guilty. The tahini and maple dressing completes this salad. It’s the perfect complement to the salad base of kale, squash, beets, and pomegranate.

To make this plant-based harvest salad, roast the de-seeded and sliced squash, along with diced beets and brussel sprouts. Roasting the vegetables will make them tender, at which point run them under cool water and slice for the salad.

Kale can be served as a side dish or you can roast it alongside the squash and beets. Wash the kale and remove the leaves from the thick stems. Finely chop and add to a large mixing bowl, topped with a dash of olive oil and seasoning.

Blend all the dressing ingredients until smooth and creamy. Once the vegetables are roasted, add all ingredients to the bowl with the kale. Top with the dressing and mix well. Serve immediately.
