I could be utterly content with a colorful, crunchy, bold salad for every meal. Some of my favorite salads don’t even have to include several ingredients, as long as it provides a satisfying punch of flavor and freshness.

But when a salad is going to be the star of our dinner, then I fill it with a variety of vegetables and toppings, intense in flavor and vivid in color. Honestly, this is one of those salads I can’t take my eyes off of. Weird maybe, but look at it. So stunning!Frisee Salad with Warm MushroomsThis salad combines crisp bitter frisée, roasted butternut squash, sautéed shredded brussel sprouts, warm mushrooms, velvety goat cheese, and the essence of truffle…and let me tell you, it is decadent!!Frisee Salad with Warm MushroomsNow, if you would ask anyone else in my family, then they would probably not agree. I am the only goat cheese lover in the house. And truffle is just one of those things I think you like or not. My kids do not.

Sometimes though, after a long day, this mama just doesn’t care. Stinky salad I want, then stinky salad I will make. So, I’ll supplement this with some salmon or chicken and everyone will be happy again.

This salad comes together quickly and I can use the same sauté pan for all the toppings. While the butternut squash is roasting, I thinly slice the brussel sprouts and sauté them until they just start to brown but maintain their bright green color.Frisee Salad with Warm Mushrooms

Frisee Salad with Warm MushroomsWhile the brussel sprouts and squash cool, I slice and begin to sauté a variety of mushrooms.Frisee Salad with Warm MushroomsWhile no truffle oil is a substitute for the real thing, I toss some with all the salad ingredients. With this salad, it’s the flavor I crave, warm and hearty for a cool winter night.

Just before serving, I mix in the mushrooms. The frisée stays firm even after being tossed with the warm mushrooms so I get my desired crunch that I look for in a salad.

I finish it off with a drizzle of this amazing, sweet aged balsamic, creamy goat cheese, some toasted macadamia nuts and a dash of my favorite truffle salt.Frisee Salad with Warm Mushrooms

      Thank you! I was inspired by a salad I had on vacation a year ago that used arugula instead, which is a tasty alternative here!
