- The first thing we do is take out all the ingredients from our Martha Stewart & Marley Spoon box and place them on the counter where everything is easy to see. All these ingredients are fresh and pre-portioned, so there is no waste.
- While the oven is preheating to 425-degrees Fahrenheit, Elvira prepares the grains combining the 5-grain blend, water, and a teaspoon of salt in a saucepan and cooking for about 15 to 17 minutes.
- Each meal comes with a large recipe card, which lists the ingredients and each of the six steps plus large photos to help show each stage of the process.
- On the other side, a full sized image of the meal once it is cooked and ready to serve.
- Next, Elvira prepares the dressing.
- She juices one lemon into a small bowl. Here she is using my citrus press from Macy’s – I love this tool because it gets every drop of juice from the fruit with just a squeeze of the handles.
- Into the same bowl, she adds three tablespoons of oil…
- … And two teaspoons of maple syrup.
- Then she whisks up the liquid and seasons to taste with salt and pepper.
- Next, she halves the fennel and cuts into 1/2-inch thick wedges.
- She halves the squash, scoops out the seeds…
- … And also cuts it into 1/2-inch thick pieces.
- The squash is topped with maple syrup and Chinese five spice and roasted until caramelized and tender.
- And the fennel is also roasted until tender and brown.
- The walnuts are roasted next for about seven minutes.
- Elvira tosses the spinach with a drizzle of oil and then tops it with the 5-grain blend and roasted vegetables.
- Here she adds the delicious and sweet squash.
- Once the cooked ingredients and spinach are all mixed together, she adds the blue cheese, walnuts, maple vinaigrette, and lemon wedges. And that’s it.
- Isn’t that a wonderful looking salad? And it looks just like the photo!
- This fall salad is a big hit. It was made for four servings – and every bit of it was devoured – so good. Go to the web site and see how you can sign up for Martha Stewart & Marley Spoon right now. You’ll love every dish.
