This concept started out as a Thanksgiving stuffing recipe. It took a few twists and turns through the development process.
Here’s what we ended up with:
- Wild rice, tossed in a gingery dressing, plus some kale for extra green stuff and health bonus points
- Roasted butternut squash
- Red pomegranate, green onion, and crumbled goat cheese, which yield a festive color combination
- Pepitas (green pumpkin seeds), toasted with a little cinnamon for warming spice
I’m not sure what to call this situation. Can we call it a stuffing? Or is it a dressing? As a vegetarian, the distinctions are lost on me. Maybe it’s just a salad?
Here’s what I know for certain. This dish is a…
- Christmas-worthy, wildly colored main dish for vegetarians
- Healthy holiday side dish for all
- Special diet-friendly option, since it’s gluten free, nut free and easily dairy free/vegan
