Juicy Marbles

Meaty meat, Roasted Beet & Radicchio Salad

with Herby Yogurt, and Spicy Pumpkin Seed Clusters

Salad is usually the least talked about part of a dinner spread, and I am on a mission to change that. By combining fancy-looking bitter leaves, roasted beets, spicy caramelized pumpkin seeds, herby yogurt dressing, and chunks of pan-seared Marbles, I am actively working on dismantling the oppressive monopoly of mayonnaise-forward salads. Not only does this seasonal, colorful (and might I add, healthy and balanced, if you even care) salad look stunning, it also takes care of your cravings for creamy dressing, crunchy topping, 2 of your 5-a-day, and your daily protein intake. This recipe serves two but can be easily scaled up or down, depending on the number of people you're entertaining. You are also allowed to eat it alone, but only if you take pictures and show them to people later.
