For the Salad
- 2 medium-sized delicata squash (about 11 ounces each)
- 1 large avocado, diced
- 1 bunch radishes, with leaves (Note 1)
- 6 ounces of deli-sliced chicken or turkey, 1-inch diced
- 6 tablespoons dried cranberries
- 1/4 cup fresh mint leaves (optional)
- 1 tablespoon olive oil For the Vinaigrette
- 6 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
- 3 tablespoons apple cider vinegar
- 2 teaspoons dijon mustard
- 2 teaspoons maple syrup
- salt and pepper, to taste
Instructions
- Step 1: Preheat the oven to 410 degrees Fahrenheit. Cut the squash lengthwise and scoop out the seeds. Slice each squash half into 1/2-inch slices. Spread onto a baking sheet. Toss with the 1 tablespoon of olive oil and season with salt and pepper.
- Step 2: Roast at the squash for 15 to 20 minutes, or until tender. Flip the slices over halfway through the cooking time.
- Step 3: Meanwhile, slice the radish bulbs as thinly as possible (it should make 2 cups sliced). Wash, dry, and chop the radish greens into bite-sized pieces. Discard any leaves that are yellowed or feel slimy. Note: If you do not have any radish greens, substitute with 1 handful of arugula.
- Step 4: Stir together all vinaigrette ingredients in a small bowl. Refrigerate until ready to use.
- Serve: Place the roasted squash, avocado, sliced radish, radish greens, diced chicken, cranberries, and mint in a salad bowl. Toss with the vinaigrette, to taste. Enjoy.
Recipe Notes
Note 1: Look for radish greens that are vibrant and green, not wilted and yellow. If you can’t find healthy radish greens, substitute it with 1 handful of arugula. The radishes should amount to 2 cups sliced.
