Take-out Tuesday, Winter Roasted Grape Salad

When the weather is cold and dreary,

add something warm to your salad

I love to add fruit to salads,

and when I learned that you could roast grapes,

I had to try that!

I added them to a salad along

with a tasty cheese and nuts~

So simple and so good!

Roast the grapes just like you would any vegetables,

on a foil or parchment paper lined baking sheet,

drizzled with oil and seasoned with salt and pepper

Roast for about 15 minutes at 400 degrees F

Toss them with some crispy romaine,

a diced flavorful cheese, and some toasted nuts

I used Asiago cheese and pine nuts

    Jenna, this salad sounds yummy! I am always trying to think of a different side dish to serve, and this sounds wonderful. I think it would also be delicious with diced grilled chicken in it too as a main meal. Thanks for sharing! Happy Tuesday!
