Like this beautiful Autumn Panzanella salad. roasted fall veggies like brussels sprouts, sweet potatoes, red onion and delicate squash on a bed of baby arugula and crispy golden croutons (made with a vegan gluten-free baguette!) Bright little pops of pomegranate seeds and a zesty Pumpkin Tahini Vinaigrette are the finishing touch that lend so much flavor.

There are so many goodies in this salad that is hard to know where to start or finish- you are going to love it!
