Perfect Winter Salad
A hearty, seasonal dish ideal as a starter or light main, blending roasted vegetables like sweet potatoes and Brussels sprouts with fresh greens (kale or spinach), vibrant fruits (pomegranate, pears), and toppings like nuts and goat cheese. Tossed in a tangy-sweet dressing of olive oil, balsamic vinegar, Dijon mustard, and honey, it's a comforting and nutritious winter favorite.
