Add the olive oil, orange juice, raspberry vinegar, grapes, pecans, cranberries, scallions, 1/2 teaspoon of salt, and the pepper. Allow to sit for 30 minutes for the flavors to blend.

• Drain and place in the refrigerator to cool for about 15 minutes.
• Meanwhile, slice green onions as thinly as you can. Set aside a portion of the greens for garnish. Toss remaining green onions in a bowl with grapes, chickpeas, cranberries, garlic, and rosemary.
• Squeeze lemons into a separate bowl; watch for seeds! Stir in salt and oregano until oregano is crushed and begins to steep in the lemon juice. Whisk in maple syrup and olive oil until dressing begins to emulsify.

WILD RICE AND ROASTED SQUASH SALAD WITH CIDER VINAIGRETTE

Steps:

• Heat the oven to 400 degrees and set a rack in the center of the oven.
• Prepare the rice: Bring a medium pot of salted water to a boil. Add the wild rice to the boiling water, reduce the heat to a simmer and cook the rice until tender and most grains have split, 40 to 50 minutes. Drain the rice.
• While the rice cooks, roast the squash: On a baking sheet, toss the squash with the olive oil, paprika and a sprinkle of kosher salt and pepper. Spread the squash into an even layer, then transfer to the oven to roast, stirring a few times, until golden and tender, about 20 to 30 minutes.
• Meanwhile, make the vinaigrette: In a small saucepan, bring the apple cider to a boil over high. Boil the cider until it has reduced to about 1/4 cup, 10 to 15 minutes. Carefully transfer the cider syrup to a jar with a lid (don't put the lid on yet) and let it cool slightly. Add the olive oil, apple cider vinegar, shallot, mustard, salt and pepper. Screw the lid on tightly and shake vigorously to combine. Taste and season with salt and pepper.
• Assemble the salad: Add the cooked rice, roasted squash, radicchio, cherries and parsley to a large bowl. Shake the vinaigrette to combine, then drizzle a few tablespoons over the salad and toss gently to combine. Add more vinaigrette to taste. (You may have a bit of extra vinaigrette; refrigerate it for up to 3 days and toss with other greens or grains.)
• Top the salad with the toasted walnuts and a sprinkle of flaky salt and pepper, and serve immediately.
