Description

This butternut squash and pearl barley salad is a delightful and nutritious dish, perfect as a light lunch or a vibrant side. The sweetness of the roasted squash complements the nutty barley, while the Tenderstem broccoli and SunBlush tomatoes add a burst of freshness. I love how the balsamic vinaigrette brings all the flavors together, creating a harmonious blend that's both satisfying and healthy. It's a great way to enjoy seasonal produce and can be easily prepared ahead of time, making it ideal for meal prepping or a quick weeknight dinner. This salad is vegetarian and packed with fiber, making it a guilt-free indulgence.
