Winter Squash Salad

Typically in winter I crave warm, hearty comfort foods like many others, but for whatever reason, this time I was really craving a salad. Given how cold and snowy it was outside, I figured, why not make this a comforting “winter” salad! With “wintery” ingredients already on hand, like kale and acorn squash, I knew I could whip something tasty up, so away I went.

Throwing my squash in the oven to roast, I went about preparing the rest of the salad. Looking at all the ingredients I planned to use in the salad (squash, pomegranate, kale, spinach, squash seeds), I thought a tart, yet sweet apple cider vinaigrette would be the perfect fit (see previous post for the vinaigrette)!

This salad was very hearty, and the pomegranate seeds, and apple cider vinaigrette added a really nice bright flavour to it!

Enjoy!
