Ah, this salad. It is chock full of not only the scrumptious tastes of fall, but the carrots and the shallots and the slightly charred bits make it look like fall too.

It is served just the right amount of warm, and while you don’t HAVE to do this, I like to make all this healthiness just the slightest bit naughty by adding a handful of bacon.

I’m not saying this is ever going to replace mashed potatoes or sweet potato casserole on your holiday table…but you might want to make room for it alongside those favorites.

Here’s how you make warm fall vegetable roasted salad!

This has every single one of my favorite fall veggies in it. Starting with carrots. So cheerful and sweet.

Baby potatoes. You can use either red ones or yellow ones, or even fingerlings. Just get the teeniest ones you can.

Shallots!! When you roast shallots, they take on a sweet, almost creamy taste. I put lots of them in this recipe. I heart shallots.

Now, I am a fervent Brussels sprouts fan. The Southern husband…not so much. But even he can’t say no to the deliciousness of roast Brussels sprouts in this salad.

Or if he does, I just eat the rejected Brussels sprouts left on his plate.

Garlic. You are going to roast a few whole cloves of garlic with the other veggies, and just like the shallots, they will turn all kinds of sweet once they are roasted. MAGIC.

Once the veggies have all roasted together, I let them hang out in a bowl while I pop a few pieces of bacon in the oven until they are nice and crispy, and then I chop it up and toss it in with the salad to add a salty, savory, baconalicious taste.

Regular bacon is wonderful, or you can go for broke and use my recipe for cornmeal crusted bacon. I’m just warning you, you might never be able to go back to regular bacon again.

All of this gets tossed with a quick mustard vinaigrette, ideally while everything is just the right amount of warm.

More Tips for making this Warm comfort Food Salad!

Can I substitute different vegetables?

You can! Cubed butternut squash, green beans and cauliflower florets are just a few of other veggies that will work wonderfully in this salad.

How do I trim Brussels Sprouts?

Take your handy paring knife and cut off the woody part at the bottom, and then I usually go ahead and cut them in half or quarters, depending on how big they are.

Can this salad be made ahead?

It can! It’s delicious at room temperature, so if you have made it ahead and stored it in the fridge (which you should do if you are making it the day before) let it sit on the counter for a while. And if you want it warmed up (my favorite way to have this salad) pop it in a 350 oven for about 20 minutes.

Have a question that I didn’t cover already?

Pop your question in the comments and I promise to answer pronto.

THE DELICIOUSNESS. Now that’s what I call a salad. :)
