Winter Salad with Roasted Butternut Squash
(Inspired by Every Day with Rachael Ray)
2 1/2 cups cubed butternut squash
6 tbsp olive oil
2 tsp herbes de Provence (Trust me, this makes the salad beyond delicious)
1 tsp Dijon mustard
1 1/2 tbsp balsamic vinegar
1 package( 5 oz. )baby kale salad mix
1/4 cup each dried cranberries, pepitas, and walnuts
(I used fresh cranberries and skipped the walnuts)
On rimmed baking sheet, toss the squash, 2 tbsp olive oil, and herbes de Provence; season. Bake at 425° until tender, 25 minutes. Let cool for 5 minutes. In a small bowl, whisk Dijon, vinegar, and remaining 4 tbsp. oil; season. In a large bowl, toss kale with dressing. Top with squash, cranberries, pepitas, and nuts.
Serves 4
I think next time I'll replace the Dijon with herbes de Provence. See how that goes.
Been listening to both Christmas albums by She&Him and Seth MacFarlane's Christmas album as well.
Penguin has a lovely collection Christmas Classics. I've treated myself to one book each year. A Christmas Carol is my latest addition(Thanks to Kid B). I have two more to go.
Heads up to my fellow Generation X'ers, Prime has Emmett Otter's Jug Band Christmas. You bet I watched it!
And speaking of Amazon, for tea lovers, there's an excellent deal on Twinings, a box of almost 50 different teas to cozy up with all Winter.
Happy Holidays!
