Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 14

1 delicata squash, halved lengthwise, seeded, and cut into 1-inch (2.54 cm) pieces
1 lb brussels sprouts, outer leaves and stems removed, halved lengthwise
3 tablespoons olive oil, divided
4 tablespoons McCormick® Salad Supreme seasoning, divided
2 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
1 head green leaf lettuce, sliced into 1-inch (2.54 cm) strips
1 bunch lacinato kale, ribs removed and sliced into 1-inch pieces

¼ cup toasted pumpkin seeds
½ cup candied walnuts, roughly chopped
2 tablespoons apple cider vinegar
1 tablespoon dijon mustard
1 teaspoon McCormick® Salad Supreme seasoning
½ cup extra virgin olive oil

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C).

Tips for Making the Best Salad Seasoning:

  • Use fresh herbs and spices: Fresh herbs and spices add a burst of flavor to your salad seasoning. If you don't have fresh herbs on hand, you can use dried herbs, but be sure to use less since they are more concentrated.
  • Experiment with different flavors: There are endless possibilities when it comes to creating your own salad seasoning. Try different combinations of herbs, spices, and other ingredients until you find a blend that you love.
  • Use a good quality oil: The oil you use in your salad dressing is important. Choose a high-quality oil that has a good flavor, such as olive oil, avocado oil, or walnut oil.
  • Use a good balance of flavors: When creating your salad seasoning, be sure to use a good balance of flavors. You want the seasoning to be flavorful, but not overpowering.
  • Store your salad seasoning properly: Once you've created your salad seasoning, store it in an airtight container in a cool, dark place. This will help to preserve the flavor of the seasoning.

Conclusion:

Making your own salad seasoning is a great way to add flavor to your salads and other dishes. With a little creativity, you can create a seasoning that is perfect for your taste. So next time you're making a salad, try using one of the recipes from this article or experiment with your own blend of herbs and spices. You'll be surprised at how much better your salads taste!
