This Autumn Salad is a great place to start as you transition your dishes from Summer to Fall!
Transitioning to Fall and Autumn Foods
It’s not quite Fall yet but it’s getting there and you start to think of foods that can be Fall-Worthy because the days throwing something on the grill after a long day out summer’s day 9out on the beach or where-ever) isn’t going to cut it. You’re somewhere in the middle of transitioning from summer dishes to Fall dishes and just don’t know where to begin. How about this Autumn Salad? It’s light, hearty, delicious and will help you do just that! The best part is that you can change out some of the add-ins to your liking or what you have in stock. Next you can try my awesome and delicious Squash Soup.
Bring out summer and Fall Foods and dump everything in a giant bowl. It’s that easy. Well, the hardest part is actually getting all the ingredients on hand. I don’t have these growing at my house so that means, going to a store or two to find thee ingredients. Thankfully, I found everything at one store (but I forgot to get the pomegranate and had to go back to get it. Same store though).
