7 Supremely Satisfying Salads and Grain Bowls You Need in Your Rotation

The way the flavors and textures of seared radicchio, roasted squash, farro, apple, and blue cheese mix and mingle earned this salad its "ultimate" title. Its roasty, toasty notes celebrate everything you love about autumn, but you can easily riff on the recipe to make it fit any season.
