"The sweetness of the roasted grapes and savory flavor of the red onions tie together the flavors of the bowl and really make the dressing pop. Oh and you might want to eat that dressing with a spoon so I made sure the recipe makes enough for those who want that extra drizzle. Topped with roasted, salted sunflower seeds and lemon zest, yum. Choose your own adventure and add your favorite protein: grilled chicken, salmon, tofu or chickpeas."
