Delicata Squash Fall Salad

Crisp Salad enhancers–Delicata Squash !

I love the texture and colors of this salad. It’s simple to make and the dressing of olive oil with a light citrusy tang will enhance the taste of the pine nuts, walnuts, and compliment the sweet dried cranberries.

Serve it chilled with a Sauvignon Blanc. Add grilled chicken or tofu and edamame for a hearty vegetarian option.

1 Delicata squash

1/2 to whole bag of baby arugula or chrysanthemum leaveas
