of bacon fat in the pan. Add the shallots and saute over medium heat until they soften. Turn off the heat and add the vinegar. Swirl to combine. Add a few turns of the pepper mill's worth of fresh black pepper.
Especially not when autumn salads can be as tasty as this warm roasted cauliflower and butternut squashsaladwith streaky bacon and caramelised pecans served with a sweet but sharp honey and balsamic dressing
Spiced Roasted Sweet Potatoes, Goat'sCheese, Tomato andArugulaSalad. It's important to douse them with more olive oil, lime juice, salt and pepper just before serving, you won't be disappointed
One is to roast the potatoes very slowly so that they become meltingly tender and waxy (as opposed to the crispy/fluffy texture of my favorite Butter Roasted Potatoes)
If you do get stain on your hands, you can remove it with a little lemon juice. Adding the quinoa keeps you full and the goatcheese is just an added bonus
What I like about this salad is that it’s so rich in flavors, you have salty bacon, warm sweet apple, crunchy fresh salad, soft walnuts and some bruschetta to make sure your lunch isn’t too light
Garnish each plate with beets, bacon, hard-cooked eggs andgoatcheese toast. Paint baguette slices lightly on both sides with olive oil and top each with a slice of goatcheese

Choose a base – lettuce, spinach, arugula, whatever. I whisked the pesto up with some balsamic vinegar and olive oil to make a really tasty – and super easy – salad dressing
Prepare the salad by combing mixed greens, pecans, apples and beets. Since I've been on a little beet kick lately, I decided to put this salad together, and it was amazing
replace the bacon with a few walnuts or pine nuts, throw in a couple of handfuls of greens, like arugula for instance, add an apple, some mushrooms or caramelized onions, or a few chunks of cooked chicken… with very little imagination, you could easily turn this into a complete and delicious meal
sweetness from the beets, freshness the microgreens, creamy from the goatcheese, salty from the bacon, acidity from the vinaigrette and nuttiness from the toasted pine nuts
Drizzle with a little fresh lemon juice and shredded Parm Cheese before serving. Next I seasoned the Chicken with the Poultry Herb Blend and Grinder Sea Salt and the Peppercorn Medley
the summery yellow squash, the salty bacon, and the slightly sweet goatcheese go together so well. I love summer squashand I usually like it with a little bite left to it
