People aren't accustomed to eating raw butternut squash, but when it's grated, it has a wonderful, crunchy quality, and it's also very pretty. Here, a jumble of grated squash is tossed with a dressing made out of fresh cranberries, honey, orange juice and fresh ginger. It's a lively, fresh twist on the traditional mashed and heavily-buttered treatment.
