The winter salad selection takes you a step away from Summer’s lighter greens and gives a hearty bump of grains well suited to cooler weather.
The Winter Kale Salad is filled with perfectly cooked hearty wheat berries studded with the appealing jewel tone colours of baby kale, spiced yams and roasted red peppers. Cucumbers and Feta cheese play off the spicy chipotle ranch dressing to bring a cooling effect. Lastly the salad is crowned with ribbons of deliciously crispy, naturally sweet kabocha squash chips.
The Five Grain Salad is a showcase for fall and winter vegetables paired with healthy, nutty, flavourful grains. This salad features farro, quinoa, blue barley, rye berries and wheat berries as the five grains. Paired with these tasty grains are a mix of hearty kale leaves, Chef’s blend of sauteed mushrooms, and brussel sprouts roasted to perfection. To give some crisp contrast; pickled cauliflower and crunchy onions are added. Lastly, the addition of goat cheese rounds out the flavour profile giving a tangy contrast to the romesco dressing.
The Chickpea Salad is a feast for the eyes. This salad is filled with many contrasting colours and textures; a party for your taste buds. Chickpeas co-mingle with roasted cauliflower, bright red peppers and refreshing fennel. Apple and raisins pair up to bring some sweetness and colour along with crunchy almonds and fresh green cilantro to fill out the guest list. Everything is brought together in this salad by the addition of a mouth watering creamy curry dressing.
