Roasted Butternut Squash Salad With Tangerine Rosemary Vinaigrette Recipes

ROASTED BUTTERNUT SQUASH SALAD WITH WARM CIDER VINAIGRETTE

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.
• Place the butternut squash on a sheet pan. Add 2 tablespoons olive oil, the maple syrup, 1 teaspoon salt and 1/2 teaspoon pepper and toss. Roast the squash for 15 to 20 minutes, turning once, until tender. Add the cranberries to the pan for the last 5 minutes.
• While the squash is roasting, combine the apple cider, vinegar, and shallots in a small saucepan and bring to a boil over medium-high heat. Cook for 6 to 8 minutes, until the cider is reduced to about 1/4 cup. Off the heat, whisk in the mustard, 1/2 cup olive oil, 1 teaspoon salt, and 1/2 teaspoon of pepper.
• Place the arugula in a large salad bowl and add the roasted squash mixture, the walnuts, and the grated Parmesan. Spoon just enough vinaigrette over the salad to moisten and toss well. Sprinkle with salt and pepper and serve immediately.

WARM BUTTERNUT SQUASH SALAD WITH TANGERINE-ROSEMARY VINAIGRETTE

Steps:

• Heat 1/4 cup olive oil in a large, heavy saute pan over medium-high heat. Add the squash. Season with some salt and pepper. Saute until slightly browned and softened, 8 to 10 minutes. Add the vegetable broth. Reduce the heat to medium-low and simmer, covered, until cooked through, 15 to 20 minutes. Season with more salt and pepper, and set the squash aside to cool slightly.
• Meanwhile, prepare the tangerines and vinaigrette. Peel 3 of the tangerines and slice them into 1-inch rounds, removing any seeds. Place the sliced tangerines in a bowl. To make the vinaigrette, juice the remaining tangerine into a small mixing bowl. Add the remaining 2 tablespoons olive oil and the rosemary. Whisk until combined. Season with salt and pepper.
• In a large serving bowl, add the mixed salad greens. Toss the salad with the vinaigrette until evenly coated. Top with the warm butternut squash. Arrange the sliced tangerines on top and sprinkle with the dried cranberries. Serve warm.
