Here is a heart-healthy salad that pulls out all the stops for the fall and winter season. Delicately roasted winter squash, toasted walnuts, delicious greens and a simple dressing will make it a hit at your table.
Ingredients:
- 6 cups arugula or raw spinach (prewashed and ready to serve)
- 1 acorn squash, roasted, peeled, diced
- 1 cup toasted walnuts
- 1/2 cup diced sourdough bread
- Dressing: Light spray of olive oil, balsamic vinegar to taste, cracked black pepper, chopped fresh parsley, small squeeze of lemon
Directions:
Roast the acorn or butternut squash until it is tender. Cut it in half, remove the seeds and then remove the squash from the peel with a spoon. Allow to cool and dice into large 1 inch cubes. Place the arugula in a bowl with the toasted walnuts, acorn squash, and bread. Toss lightly with the dressing ingredients. Serve immediately.
Chef’s Tips:
You can use any kind of winter squash. The goal is to have about 2-3 cups of roasted, diced winter squash for the salad. This is a great way to use leftover roasted winter squash.
