This salad has a lot of texture, color and flavor. It celebrates seasonal fall vegetables, and it is perfect for serving family-style. It strikes a beautiful balance between sweet, savory, tender and crisp.

I love this recipe because it only uses four ingredients but feels like a French patisserie tart. It's easy and quick to put together but it yields such an elegant and impressive result.
