Salad

Method

Preparation

  1. 1

    Roast the Butternut Squash

    Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C). Peel and cube the butternut squash. Toss the cubes with olive oil, salt, and pepper. Spread on a baking sheet and roast for 25-30 minutes until tender and caramelized.

  2. 2

    Prepare the Endive

    While the squash is roasting, wash and slice the endive into thin strips. Place in a large salad bowl.

  3. 3

    Make the Pear Vinaigrette

    In a blender, combine 1 ripe pear (peeled and chopped), 2 tablespoons of olive oil, 1 tablespoon of apple cider vinegar, salt, and pepper to taste. Blend until smooth.

  4. 4

    Combine Ingredients

    Once the butternut squash is roasted and slightly cooled, add it to the bowl with endive. Add pickled onions, crushed walnuts, and crumbled smoked blue cheese.

  5. 5

    Dress the Salad

    Drizzle the pear vinaigrette over the salad and toss gently to combine. Adjust seasoning if necessary.
