It has been really cold here in California, eating cold salad is a big no no. These warm salads are such a savior in the cold months. Warm tender sweet potatoes, yellow potatoes, juicy zucchini slices, quartered red onions, crisp broccoli florets, and soft capsicum slices all tossed with cilantro in the pomogrante juice and olive oil dressing with a hint of fresh garlic is so aromatic and tasty.
