Grilled Vegetable Salad

Chef Grant Danyluk,

Confusion Corner Drinks + Food

Grant has been honing his cooking skills under the tutelage of some of Winnipeg’s great chefs for nearly fifteen years. He enjoys bringing elements of a dish together for an impactful result. This multi-component signature salad offers an opportunity to try this at home. It spotlights the fresh summer flavours of garden greens and smokey flavour of grilled veggies. The recipe for the candied pecans is high yielding and stores well.
