Quick-pickled red onions (a refrigerator staple in my house) offer crunch and a pop of color, and lacinato kale provides a rich textured background. But the real star of my salad is the croutons. They combine two strongly flavored ingredients—gorgonzola cheese and rye bread—that combine for an explosion of savory, crunchy goodness. The cheese is mashed with melted butter and rubbed into hand-torn bread, which has a wonderfully rustic, craggy texture. These get baked till crisp, and they’re absolutely irresistible—crunchy, potent, and so unique. If you don’t use all the croutons on the salad (or you want to make a double batch), store them in an airtight container at room temperature, and enjoy as a snack with cocktails.Though this salad involves a few steps and a bit of time, it’s for the holidays—and for your family—so it’s worth the effort. You can get a head start with everything so that all you have to do is toss everything together before the meal. Make the croutons, pickled onions, roasted veggies, and dressing a day ahead, and go ahead and prep the kale. Bring the veggies and vinaigrette to room temp before tossing the salad. Try serving in a shallow bowl or even a platter so the elements can spread out and show themselves off. And get ready for more than a few pats on the back for what you brought to the table.
