Hey there strong people!
Fall is here and it is EVERYwhere! AM I RIGHT Trader Joe’s pumpkin everything?!?!?! While I love summer, there’s something about fall that you can’t beat. The crisp mornings, orange-yellow-red trees, and…I will say it again, PUMPKIN EVERYTHING.
I love all types of squash and anytime I can get creative with them, it leads to a tasty recipe. The following recipe is more of an inspiration post for you. Fall salads are so beautiful and fun to make. This is one creation but the possibilities are endless!
Happy fall and enjoy this yummy salad!
I use a simple mixture of olive oil and balsamic vinegar as a dressing!
Fall in a Salad Bowl!
Servings: 4

Instructions

- While oven is preheating, slice your acorn squash width-wise into 1 inch pieces.

- Prepare the rest of the salad components. Use a big bowl for a beautiful presentation.
- Once the squash is cooked and cooled, assemble salad.
