During the Fall, we deserve nothing less than carbs on carbs on carbs. This grain salad uses some of the season’s freshest produce for a bright and vibrant side dish that’s just as cozy as a bowl of soup.

What’s better than a roasted squash than a roasted, then blackened one? Blackening the squash via cast iron creates a beautiful crust and char that complements the sweet and spiced pomegranate relish that is sprinkled on top.

This dish is perfect as any side dish for your next gathering, pushing guests to grab a slice with their fingers- which they will inevitably lick to get ALL of that remaining flavor. Enjoy!
