Harvest Rice Salad

Wild rice, hunks of golden squash, pecans, cranberries, fresh herbs and more are drizzled with an apple-cider dressing. This is a great main dish or a perfect side dish at any holiday table and the leftovers are absolutely the best to have on hand for a relaxing post-holiday time.

Chopped Kale & Pomegranate Salad

Glistening pomegranates and toasted almonds decorate shreds of kale that are lightly marinated in an apple cider dressing. This is even better the next day as the flavors have time to absorb.

Pieces of fuyu persimmon complete the dish, but fresh pear or apple work as well. Save yourself some time by purchasing the pomegranate seeds and the almonds already toasted.

Cranberry Cherry Syrah Sauce

Syrah wine is reduced with fresh cranberries and dried cherries. The sauce pairs perfectly with a turkey dinner. It also works well drizzled on beef, fish, or brie cheese. It is even spectacular dolloped on chocolate cake or ice cream, too.

Pecan Tilapia

A nutty crust brings tilapia up to a new level and is especially lovely paired with most any fall side dishes. It is perfect solo or with a tangy sweet sauce. The crusted fish comes together quickly as soon as the pecans are chopped and bakes at a high temperature until golden, rather then pan searing. Make it gluten free with brown-rice flour and gluten free breadcrumbs. Save time by using pecan meal if you can find it, almond or hazelnut meal can work as well.
