Ingredients
 

  • 2 cups cauliflower florets
  • 3 cups Brussels sprouts halved
  • 2 cups butternut squash cubed
  • 1 cup cannellini beans rinsed and drained
  • 2 Tbsp pomegranate seeds, rinsed and dried
  • 2 Tbsp golden raisins

Horseradish Vinaigrette

  • 3 Tbsp champagne vinegar or white wine vinegar
  • 1 Tbsp prepared horseradish
  • 1 tsp minced garlic
  • 2 tsp minced scallions
  • 1 pinch chili flakes
  • 1 tsp salt
  • 1/4 cup extra virgin olive oil

Instructions
 

  • Combine all the vinaigrette ingredients in a mason jar. Tightly secure the lid and shake to combine. Set aside. (This recipe makes more than enough dressing for the salad. Save extra in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 1 week.)
  • Preheat oven to 375°F. Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper and set aside. Place cauliflower and Brussels sprouts in a large bowl, and toss with 1 Tbsp olive oil. Spread on prepared baking sheet and roast for 10 minutes.
  • Place butternut squash in the same bowl and toss with 1/2 Tbsp olive oil. After the other vegetables have cooked for 10 minutes, add squash to the same pan and continue cooking for additional 10-12 minutes, or until vegetables are crisp outside and tender inside. Cooking time will vary depending on size of the vegetable pieces.
  • Let vegetables cool to room temperature. In a large bowl, combine vegetables with beans, pomegranate seeds, and raisins and toss with just enough dressing to coat the salad.
