Preparation Instructions

  1. 1

    Poach the Apples

    In a saucepan, combine red wine and enough water to cover the apples. Bring to a simmer. Core and slice the golden delicious apples, then add them to the simmering liquid. Poach for about 10 minutes until tender. Remove from heat and let cool.

  2. 2

    Roast the Acorn Squash

    Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C). Cut the acorn squash in half, remove the seeds, and slice each half into wedges. Toss with 1 tablespoon of olive oil, salt, and pepper to taste. Place on a baking sheet and roast for 25-30 minutes until tender and caramelized.

  3. 3

    Prepare the Salad

    In a large bowl, combine the mixed greens, roasted acorn squash, poached apple slices, blue cheese crumbles, and walnuts. Drizzle with remaining olive oil and cranberry agrodolce. Toss gently to combine.

    Serve

    Divide the salad among plates and serve immediately.
