Oh, hey delciata squash, we hadn’t seen you since….yesterday.
I wasn’t kidding when I said I’m having a full blown love affair with this small squash. I think I’ve had some variation of delicata for lunch or dinner ever day for the past two weeks. All I need to do is figure out how to make a really great delicata smoothie or granola, and I’ll be having it at every meal!
This salad is insanely addictive. The sweetness of the squash and vinaigrette pairs well with the charred sprouts and crunchy pecans. And it’s filling enough to enjoy as a main meal-I just can’t get enough!
