Servings: 1
Ingredients
- 3 cups baby spinach or spring mix
- 4 oz romanesco florets
- 1/2 tsp olive oil
- salt and pepper, for taste you can spice the romanesco further, if you'd like. I added some za'atar to the mix!
- 1/4 cup edamame
- 1/4 cup microgreens
- 1 TBSP sunflower seeds
- 1/4 cup kiwi berries halved
- 1 TBSP pomegranate seeds
- 1 TBSP crumbled feta or goat cheese optional

Molasses Vinaigrette
- 1/2 cup minced shallots
- 1/4 cup extra virgin olive oil
- 1/4 cup fresh lemon juice
- 1/4 cup dark molasses
- 1 TBSP apple cider vinegar
- 1 tsp ground coriander optional
- 1/4 tsp kosher salt
- 1/4 tsp cracked black pepper
Instructions
Molasses Vinaigrette
- Place all ingredients in a blender.
- Blend until thoroughly mixed; ideally you don't want it pureed since having some texture from the minced shallots is good, but it's up to you.
- Set aside.
Roasted Romanesco
- Pre-heat oven to 425 degrees F.
- Place florets in a large bowl and drizzle with 1/2 tsp of olive oil. Season with s + p, and a pinch of whatever other seasoning you'd like. Cover, and toss to coat.
- Spread the florets out on a baking sheet and bake for approx. 10 minutes, or until florets are tender and slightly golden. Remove and set aside.
Salad Assembly
- Place greens in a large bowl.
- Drizzle greens with a few TBSP of dressing and toss to coat.
- Place dressed greens into a bowl and garnish with toppings.
- Drizzle some extra vinaigrette over the salad if desired.
