A recipe for a fall harvest curry salad with cauliflower, nutty quinoa, lentils, chard, cilantro, and roasted pumpkin seeds.
I’m so glad I live in a world where there are Octobers.
– L.M. Montgomery, Anne of Green Gables
I’ve been watching the tables groan under the weight of the piled produce at the market and thinking about autumn’s slow death as we creep towards winter. There’s beauty in the final push. The baskets filled to overflowing, bunches of herbs tumbled together. And the flowers.
I stood outside yesterday–first at the market and then at home–appreciating that the sun felt warm on my skin. Our chickens (I haven’t talked about them here yet–we got chickens) scratched at the creeping charlie, pecking at the grass seed we put down as an exercise in futility. My gardens are sagging from the cool evenings and a bit from being trampled by our new flock who think they have full range of every bit of our backyard. Except for the chard and the kale. I’m always surprised at how long the two rows of chard and kale will last, withstanding summer’s sweltering heat and continuing to produce right until the first frost. Makes 4 meal-sized servings or 6+ side-sized servings
Marinated cauliflower and a handful of that all-weather-hardy chard meet quinoa and lentils here. The lentils melt into the quinoa a bit to help hold everything together a bit, creating a creaminess to the otherwise chewy grains. A curried dressing holds it all together. For a bit of a spicy kick, add in a fresh chili pepper to the dressing.

Autumn is filled with some of my favorite produce. I’ll miss Summer berries, but there are so many wonderful things to eat in the Fall that I don’t lament them too long! Love this harvest salad!
yeah, it looks amazing. The most important is it is healthy. I also follow mister tikku, travel-food blogger and his blogs are amazing.
I always dread the end of summer for a bit but as soon as I start seeing some of my favorite produce I’m over it! This salad is just the thing to make fall exciting — it’s just gorgeous and filled so many delicious flavors!
Before I forget, I can’t wait to hear more about your chickens, Shaina! But on to this salad — fall in a bowl! I love the curry flavors you have infused into the quinoa, it totally fits my mood these days.
I’m so glad for Octobers too!!! And this recipe… I love every single ingredient.
Oh wow, awesome that you got chickens! So jealous. We’re not around much in the summer so I can’t have them here. So I’ll just have to live vicariously through you. And chard- love that you used it raw in this dish. I am always looking for ways to use it raw. I’ll have to try it.
This would be a very popular salad at a potluck dinner. The October quote is right on the money–thank you! A lot of grateful October lovers going around here!
What a beautiful salad! I love it!
