SALADS FOR LUNCH

πŸ₯— What's Fresh in November (+ 25 Salads to Make)

Published 8 days agoΒ β€’Β 3 min read

Hi Reader,

​

Happy November! The air is cooler, the produce aisle is full of deep reds, oranges and greens, and salads are getting cozier. Here's what's freshest this month:

Fruits at their best: apples, pears, cranberries, pomegranates, mandarin oranges, persimmons, and grapes.

Vegetables at their best: Brussels sprouts, butternut squash, sweet potatoes, kale, cabbage, beets, cauliflower, broccoli, pumpkin, leeks, turnips, and radishes.

Cooking with what's in season usually means better flavor and a friendlier grocery bill, so I rounded up 25 of my favorite salads that put November's produce to work. They range from a 5-minute kale and apple salad to a roasted beet salad that feels special enough for guests.

If you're not sure where to start, here are three I'm making first:

​Autumn Pasta Salad
Roasted butternut squash and cranberries in a maple Dijon dressing. Ready in about 25 minutes.

​Easy Roasted Beet Salad
Earthy, sweet roasted beets that work for a gathering or a quiet dinner for one.

​Winter Kale and Quinoa Salad with Avocado Dressing
Roasted sweet potato, quinoa, black beans, and baby kale, topped with creamy avocado dressing and pepitas.

I'll be sending you more favorites from the guide twice a week all month long, so keep an eye out β€” but if you want to jump ahead and see the whole list now, it's all right here.

πŸ’‘ TIP! πŸ’‘

Say good bye to soggy sandwiches! The two partitions of this bowl are designed to be large enough so that you can better hold a sandwich and a filling soup. This bowl holds your soup and sandwiches separately to prevent spillage leading to soggy sandwiches!
​
​BONUS: Microwave and dishwasher safe!

Happy salad making,

Hi Reader, Hello, October!

That overlap is exactly what makes October salads so good. Here's what to look for at the market or in your grocery store's produce section this month: Fruits at their best: apples, pears, pomegranates, cranberries, grapes, figs, persimmons, and the last of the plums....
