You don’t must peel the acorn squash; the pores and skin is edible and nutritious! We had been doubtful because it’s so powerful earlier than it’s cooked but it surely utterly softens.

I not often write up portions for salads as a result of you possibly can simply scale up or down however for the file, I used 1 acorn squash, 6 cups of salad greens, about 1/4 cup cranberries, perhaps 2 oz goat cheese, 1/4 pecans, and doubtless 2 Tbsp pomegranate arils.

The squash doesn’t need to be served heat; it may completely be room temperature, which means you possibly can roast the squash forward of time. I hope you’re keen on this straightforward and chic salad as a lot as we do!
