Butternut Squash ‘Carpaccio’ Salad
This salad is an amazing blend of fall flavors and only requires a few ingredients – making it the perfect salad to throw together when you’re short on time. You can roast the butternut squash in advance, or just throw it into the microwave for a few minutes to soften it.
What’s great about this dish is that you can substitute pretty much any ingredient and get the same results. If you’re watching your sodium, you can use Syrian cheese, which is much less salty than feta cheese. Don’t have butternut squash? Use pumpkin or sweet potato. Sub craisins for pomegranates in a pinch. See the recipe for this delicious butternut squash salad below.
