A cozy elevated salad from Natalie’s kitchen — crisp romaine, warm roasted brussels, creamy tahini caesar dressing, and crunchy toasted quinoa layered together into the perfect balance of comfort and freshness.
This is the kind of salad that completely changes people’s minds about salads.
Warm crispy brussels. Creamy garlicky dressing. Crunchy quinoa scattered over every bite.
It somehow feels both cozy and fresh at the same time.
I especially love making this during cooler months because it still gives you that bright vibrant salad feeling while adding enough warmth and texture to feel deeply satisfying.
And honestly…the crunchy quinoa might be my favorite part.
Little golden crispy bites tucked into every forkful make the whole thing feel extra special.
This is one of those recipes that’s simple enough for weeknights but beautiful enough for a holiday table too.
Rich in vitamin C and antioxidants that help support collagen production and overall skin vitality.
Loaded with healthy fats and minerals that help nourish the skin while creating a creamy luxurious dressing.
Brings bold flavor while naturally supporting overall wellness and balance.
Packed with protein, amino acids, and nutrients that help support healthy skin and overall nourishment.
Healthy fats and antioxidants help support skin hydration and glow from within.
Optional:
Preheat the oven to 375 degrees.
Line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
Place the brussels sprouts onto one sheet pan and the cooked quinoa onto the other.
Drizzle both with olive oil and season with salt and pepper.
Spread evenly and roast for about 15 minutes.
The brussels should become slightly crispy around the edges while the quinoa turns lightly golden and crunchy.
Meanwhile, add all dressing ingredients to a jar or blender and blend until smooth and creamy, adding water as needed to thin.
Add the chopped romaine to a serving bowl.
Top with the warm roasted brussels.
Drizzle generously with the dressing and finish with the crunchy quinoa and fresh cracked black pepper.
Serve immediately while warm.
I love recipes like this because they feel comforting while still packed with fresh nourishing ingredients.
Warm. Crisp. Creamy. Crunchy.
The kind of salad that actually feels exciting to eat.
