Fall Harvest Baked Salad
While there’s lots to love about this Fall Harvest Baked Salad — the crispy kale and cabbage, the roasted veggies, the pumpkin spice — its approachability ranks top on our list. If you’re a bring-your-lunch-to-work (or your home desk) type of person, this salad is a super hearty choice. But it’s just as great as a satisfying weeknight meal or robust side dish.

1 garlic clove, thinly sliced
1 tablespoon sherry vinegar
1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
1 teaspoon honey
1 small shallot, minced
Kosher salt, to taste

Directions
- To roast the vegetables: Evenly space 3 racks in the oven and heat to 400 F. Line 3 sheet pans with parchment paper.
