📝
If you didn’t make the Spiced Pumpkin Crunch, use 1/4 cup roasted nuts/seeds of choice. Storage: This salad is best fresh; only make as much as you can eat. Nutrition boost: For more variety, add some sliced fennel, shredded carrots, and/or pomegranate arils before drizzling with the olive oil and vinegar. For more protein and crunch, top with crispy chickpeas or crispy lentils (for a homemade alternative, make the Simple Roasted Chickpeas on page 236 of Big Vegan Flavor).
