Hearty Roasted Winter Vegetable Salad with Honey Ginger Dressing

Hearty Roasted Winter Vegetable Salad with Honey Ginger Dressing || HeathersDish.comWARNING: It’s likely that tears will start to pour forth as I write this post. I’ll never get tired of saying it, but this blogging community seriously means so much to me, and the women (sorry, I don’t really read any blogs by guys…) are what make it all so fun and so exciting.

 

Every now and then I’ll get a blogger’s name just stuck on my heart, and I will literally go days just thinking of them, praying for them, hoping for them. I feel like such a creeper, but then inevitably I’ll somehow find out about something big going on in their life and it will hit me: that woman was put on my heart for a reason.

 

Bev is one of those women. I’ve been a huge fan of her blog, her cooking, her writing, her hilarious Instagram captions, all of it, for a very long time. She’s hilarious and a seriously amazing cook – every single recipe I’ve ever made from her blog (and trust me, there are a LOT) has been a huge hit and a repeat dinner around our place. She’s beautiful in so many ways. And on a related note we have twin dogs.

 

OK maybe they’re not really twins, but they might as well be.

Hearty Roasted Winter Vegetable Salad with Honey Ginger Dressing || HeathersDish.comAnyway, one day I could not get her name out of my head. Like when a song gets stuck in your head and you just keep hearing the same line over and over, that’s what it was like. So I prayed. I didn’t know what to pray for; I didn’t know what was going on in her life. But I just prayed.

 

Come to find out the exact time that I was praying for this sweet girl – actually, just about a year ago – was when she was starting to go through the process of conceiving the sweet boy and girl that are in her belly now. What an incredible joy! When I found out she was pregnant I couldn’t stop crying. Before I became a mother I had no idea what an inconceivable gift it was to have babies, and now that I know I can’t help but let the joyful tears flow forth. And knowing that I had the chance to pray for her, even in not knowing what I was actually praying for, is just such a gift!

 

Today there are a bunch of food bloggers who are hosting an online baby shower for Bev, and I am so thankful and privileged to be one of them. I signed up to make a salad because some of Bev’s biggest hits around our house usually involve deliciously roasted vegetables and an unforgettable sauce. Hopefully this one is worthy!

 

Bev, you are such a light and a blessing. Your humor is contagious, and I love that you make me laugh pretty much every day. I am so thankful to have had the chance to pray for you, Aaron, N + W before I ever had a clue as to what was going on. And I cannot wait to see and hear how those two little miracles change your world! If we were really together in a real-life shower I would probably give you the biggest bear hug your sweet belly would let me!

Hearty Roasted Winter Vegetable Salad with Honey Ginger Dressing

Ingredients

  • 1 cup brussels sprouts, halved and with the tough end cut off
  • 1 cup cubed butternut squash
  • 1 cup large chopped red onion
  • 1 bulb garlic, the cloves peeled and left whole
  • 1 cup baby carrots
  • 1 cup prepared grain of choice (I used farro, but brown rice or barley would be nice too)
  • 1/3 cup dried cherries or dried cranberries
  • 2 Tbsp olive oil
  • 1-1/2 tsp salt
  • 1 tsp pepper
  • For the dressing
  • 2 Tbsp lemon juice
  • 2 Tbsp olive oil
  • 1 Tbsp honey
  • 1 Tbsp grated fresh ginger
  • 1 tsp dijon mustard
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 1/2 tsp pepper

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 400.
  2. Spread the prepared vegetables in an even layer on the baking sheet and drizzle with the olive oil.
  3. Sprinkle with salt and pepper, and roast at 400 for 20 minutes, stirring halfway through.
  4. While the vegetables are roasting, whisk together the ingredients for the dressing in the bottom of a large bowl.
  5. Add the grain you're using and stir to combine.
  6. When the vegetables are done roasting, add them immediately to the bowl and toss well.
  7. Add the dried cherries or cranberries.
  8. Chill for about 1 hour before serving; you don't want it to be really cold because it tastes best at room temperature!
  9. Enjoy!

    This really looks good and I love trying new side dishes (especially since I usually make the same ones over and over) I can’t wait to try!

    I think it is so sweet what you are doing for your blogger friend, and so nice of you to pray for her! Being a blogger, I know how great the women behind the blogs are, and most of them live no where close to me but they are such wonderful women (I mostly read women blogs too) and so inspiring! I love this post, it really captures how the blogging community is! 😀
