Ingredients

Yield: 6 servings

Ingredients:

  • 1 medium delicata or acorn squash, around 1 lb.
  • ¼ cup + 1 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon Kosher salt
  • 5 cups fresh garden greens (butter lettuce, arugula, kale or any combination)
  • ½ cup roasted sliced almonds
  • Ricotta salata, shaved (optional)
  • ¼ cup freshly squeezed lemon juice
  • ½ teaspoon honey
  • Freshly ground black pepper (to taste)

Preparation

Step 1

Roast the squash: reheat the oven to 425 degrees. Wash the squash and scrape off any tough bits of skin with a knife. Slice the squash into ½-inch wide rounds or half moons.

Step 2

Use a spoon to scoop out the seeds from each round. Drizzle the squash with a generous tablespoon of the olive oil and a sprinkle of Kosher salt. Use your fingers to lightly coat all surfaces of the squash with the olive oil and salt.

Step 3

Bake for about 30 to 35 minutes or until the squash is tender and golden, flipping halfway. Remove from the oven and let squash cool.

Step 4

For the dressing, whisk together the olive oil, lemon juice, honey, salt, and pepper in a small bowl.

Step 5

Assemble the salad: In a large bowl, combine the fresh garden greens, squash, and sliced almonds. Toss with the dressing and top with the ricotta salata if using.
