Roasted Delicata Squash Salad


Salads are not just for hot summer weather. As we load up on hot soup, grilled sandwiches, and rich pasta dishes, what better way to balance out these cold weather staples than with a bowl full of vegetables? I love salads that taste like autumn.

Delicata squash are among the easiest to prepare, thanks to their thin, edible skin and quadrilateral symmetry (nerd alert!). They are also very sweet, and pair nicely with the salty cheese, nutty pumpkin seeds, and sherry vinegar in this recipe from Chow.
