Salads are the perfect way to eat lighter after the holidays, but sometimes they just aren’t appealing when the weather is cold and dreary. I saw a roasted grape salad over at Nibbles by Nic and decided to give it a try
I love to add fruit to salads, see All Seasons Salad here, and warm grapes mixed with crispy lettuce, tasty cheese, and nuts, sounded like a perfect dinner to me
Roast the grapes just like you would any vegetables, on a foil lined baking sheet, drizzled with oil and seasoned with salt and pepper
Roast for about 15 minutes at 400 and that’s it!
Toss them with some crispy romaine, a diced flavorful cheese, and some toasted nuts
I used Asiago cheese and pine nuts
Dress with your favorite vinaigrette, such as this Maple and Mustard Salad Dressing here, and season again to taste
Warm sweet grapes, crispy lettuce, crunchy nuts and tangy cheese
Be sure to use seedless grapes 🙂
