This hearty, nutrient-rich salad recipe is the perfect thing to take you from summer to fall. The colours and flavors of roasted Brussels sprouts and pomegranate are warm and cozy, while the fresh chard leaves and ripe peach slices are reminiscent of summer. This salad presents so beautifully, that even those who don't love salad (do they actually exist?) will be converted. You can serve this dish hot or cold, making it ideal for meal prepping and leftover lunches. It's free from dairy and all top 8 allergens, as well as being suitable for vegans. If you use a gluten-free Dijon mustard, it can simply be gluten-free too.
