i’ll admit i’ve become a little obsessed with this salad. i’m always up for an interesting salad, so when i saw this on the menu at pizzeria 712, i knew i’d love it. [if you haven’t gone there, you need to try it]
then of course after i had it i craved it everyday, until i decided to try to make my own version, because i guess i can’t really go buy it everyday.
so, here’s my own version that i made. it’s not dead on, but it will have to do..
{roasted squash salad}
ingredients [amount is up to you based on how big of a salad you want]
mixed greens [i just buy a big tub at costco]
bleu cheese crumbles [they use gorganzola, i used bleu cheese because it was cheaper]
pecans
roasted butternut squash, cut into bite sized pieces
1 bottle champagne vinagrette dressing by gerards
directions
peel and slice the butternut squash into thin strips. layout on a sprayed cookie sheet and drizzle with olive oil and sprinkle with sea salt. place in the oven on broil until it is soft enough that you can cut through with a fork and the edges are a little brown. [turn once]
place pecans in a small skillet over medium heat. toast pecans for about 10 minutes.
arrange salad putting down mixed greens, roasted squash, bleu cheese crumbles, toasted pecans, and some vinagrette.
*you can also make your own simple vinagrette, this was just my lazy, easy way.
the combination of flavors is awesome! enjoy!
I was just tried this salad at Pizzeria 712 over the weekend and have been craving it ever since. Thanks for the recipe.
I’m always torn between this one and the beet salad. So yummy!
wow..good job. looks just like it.
This is my favorite salad at P712!! I’m so excited to make it, thanks!
