Roasted Leek Salad with Apple Cider Vinaigrette
I love a good fall salad. Salads are typically seen as a "fresh summer" type situation, but fall salads are my fave! They seem to have heartier ingredients, and it's not uncommon that they have a roasted veggie or two thrown in there. In this case, our roasted veggie is the humble leek. It's a type of onion, but the flavor is mild and extra savory in my opinion! They get caramelized, soft, ...

Can I just say that I'm so happy we live in a world where something called "bacon dressing" exists? I mean...what is this life?
