The mildly bitter flavors of baby kale and escarole contrast with the sweetness of roasted winter squash, carrots, and beets. Tangy fig-balsamic dressing and roasted garlic make mellow, low-fat condiments for everything on the platter.

Number Of Ingredients 13

1/4 cup plus 1 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil
2 garlic bulbs, halved horizontally
4 mixed red and golden beets (about 1 pound total with greens), stems trimmed to about 1 inch
5 small onions, cut into wedges
Coarse salt
1/2 head cauliflower (1 pound), cut into small clusters
1 bunch carrots, peeled and trimmed (halved lengthwise if large)
2 small winter squash, such as delicata or acorn, cut crosswise into 1/2-inch-thick rounds and seeded
2 dried figs (preferably Calimyrna)
3 tablespoons balsamic vinegar
Pinch of freshly ground pepper
5 ounces mixed hearty greens, such as baby kale and escarole
Fresh rosemary sprigs, for garnish

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 425 degrees. Using 2 teaspoons oil, drizzle cut sides of garlic. Wrap each half in foil. Wrap beets in foil. Roast until garlic is soft and beets are tender, 40 to 50 minutes. Leave oven on.
  • Toss onions with 2 teaspoons oil and 1/4 teaspoon salt. Transfer to a rimmed baking sheet. Toss cauliflower with 2 teaspoons oil and 1/4 teaspoon salt. Transfer to same sheet. Using 1 tablespoon oil, brush or rub carrots and squash. Transfer to a separate rimmed baking sheet.
  • Roast vegetables, tossing once, until golden brown and tender: 15 to 20 minutes for onions and cauliflower, 20 to 25 minutes for carrots and squash.
  • Puree figs, vinegar, 2 tablespoons water, a pinch each of salt and pepper, and remaining 2 tablespoons oil in a blender. Rub beets with paper towels to remove skins; cut flesh into wedges.
  • Arrange greens and roasted vegetables on a platter. Garnish with rosemary. Serve either warm or at room temperature with vinaigrette.

The salad was too difficult to make. I would not recommend it for beginner cooks.

The salad was a bit bland. I would recommend adding more spices or herbs to the roasted vegetables.

I found the dressing to be a bit too tangy. I would recommend using less lemon juice.

This salad was a bit too oily for my taste. I would recommend using less olive oil when roasting the vegetables.

I used a balsamic vinaigrette dressing instead of the lemon vinaigrette and it was delicious.

I'm not a big fan of brussels sprouts, but they were amazing in this salad. The roasting process really brought out their flavor.
