Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
3 tablespoons dried cranberries
3/4 cup apple cider or apple juice

WILD RICE AND ROASTED SQUASH SALAD WITH CIDER VINAIGRETTE



Wild Rice and Roasted Squash Salad With Cider Vinaigrette image

Toothsome wild rice, caramelized roasted veggies and crisp radicchio all shine in this generous salad, which can be served as a hearty side or satisfying lunch. Radicchio adds a pop of color and a punch of bitterness, but a peppery green like arugula would also make a great substitute. This salad is tossed with a generous batch of mustard-cider vinaigrette. If you decide to double the dressing or have any left over, it pairs beautifully with just about any grain or hearty green, and will keep refrigerated for up to three days.

Time 4h

Yield 4 to 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 17

Kosher salt and black pepper
3/4 cup uncooked wild rice (about 5 ounces)
3/4 pound peeled kabocha or butternut squash, cut into 3/4-inch pieces (about 3 cups)
2 tablespoons olive oil
1/2 teaspoon smoked paprika
1/2 small head radicchio, thinly sliced
1/2 cup sweetened dried cherries
1/2 cup chopped fresh parsley leaves and tender stems
1/3 cup toasted chopped walnuts
Flaky sea salt
1 cup fresh apple cider
1/4 cup olive oil
1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar
1 teaspoon minced shallot
1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
1/2 teaspoon kosher salt, plus more to taste
1/4 teaspoon black pepper, plus more to taste

Steps:

  • Heat the oven to 400 degrees and set a rack in the center of the oven.
  • Prepare the rice: Bring a medium pot of salted water to a boil. Add the wild rice to the boiling water, reduce the heat to a simmer and cook the rice until tender and most grains have split, 40 to 50 minutes. Drain the rice.
  • While the rice cooks, roast the squash: On a baking sheet, toss the squash with the olive oil, paprika and a sprinkle of kosher salt and pepper. Spread the squash into an even layer, then transfer to the oven to roast, stirring a few times, until golden and tender, about 20 to 30 minutes.
  • Meanwhile, make the vinaigrette: In a small saucepan, bring the apple cider to a boil over high. Boil the cider until it has reduced to about 1/4 cup, 10 to 15 minutes. Carefully transfer the cider syrup to a jar with a lid (don't put the lid on yet) and let it cool slightly. Add the olive oil, apple cider vinegar, shallot, mustard, salt and pepper. Screw the lid on tightly and shake vigorously to combine. Taste and season with salt and pepper.
  • Assemble the salad: Add the cooked rice, roasted squash, radicchio, cherries and parsley to a large bowl. Shake the vinaigrette to combine, then drizzle a few tablespoons over the salad and toss gently to combine. Add more vinaigrette to taste. (You may have a bit of extra vinaigrette; refrigerate it for up to 3 days and toss with other greens or grains.)
  • Top the salad with the toasted walnuts and a sprinkle of flaky salt and pepper, and serve immediately.

Chicory Salad with Maple-Roasted Acorn Squash image

This salad combines crisp chicory with slices of oven-roasted acorn squash. A kiss of maple syrup draws out the natural sweetness of the squash. An aromatic hazelnut vinaigrette can be drizzled over the dish.

Provided by Martha Stewart

Categories     Food & Cooking     Salad Recipes

Number Of Ingredients 9

1 acorn squash (about 1 3/4 pounds), halved, seeded, and cut into 2-by-1/4-inch pieces
7 tablespoons hazelnut oil
3 tablespoons plus 1 teaspoon pure maple syrup
Coarse salt and freshly ground pepper
1 teaspoon sherry vinegar
2 teaspoons fresh lemon juice
2 heads frisee, separated into small pieces
1 head escarole, coarsely chopped
1/2 cup hazelnuts, toasted, skins removed

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 375 degrees. Toss squash with 1 tablespoon oil and the syrup, and season with salt and pepper. Arrange on a rimmed baking sheet. Roast, flipping once, until golden brown and tender, about 20 minutes; set aside.
  • Whisk vinegar, lemon juice, and 1/4 teaspoon salt in a bowl. Pour in remaining 6 tablespoons oil in a slow, steady stream, whisking. Season with pepper.
  • Just before serving, toss greens and squash with dressing, and arrange on a platter. Sprinkle with hazelnuts.

Tips:

  • Choose the right squash: Look for firm, heavy squash with deep-colored skin. Avoid squash with blemishes or soft spots.
  • Roast the squash properly: Cut the squash into evenly sized pieces and toss them with olive oil, salt, and pepper. Roast the squash at a high temperature (400°F) until it is tender and slightly browned.
  • Use fresh chestnuts: Fresh chestnuts are available in the fall and winter. To peel chestnuts, score the shells with a sharp knife and roast them in a preheated oven until the shells split open. Peel the chestnuts while they are still warm.
  • Make the vinaigrette ahead of time: The cranberry vinaigrette can be made up to 2 days in advance. Store the vinaigrette in a jar or container in the refrigerator.
  • Assemble the salad just before serving: The roasted squash, chestnuts, and chicory will wilt if they sit in the dressing for too long. Assemble the salad just before serving and drizzle with the cranberry vinaigrette.

Conclusion:

This roasted squash, chestnut, and chicory salad with cranberry vinaigrette is a delicious and healthy fall salad. The roasted squash and chestnuts add a sweet and nutty flavor to the salad, while the chicory adds a slightly bitter note. The cranberry vinaigrette is the perfect finishing touch, adding a tart and tangy flavor to the salad. This salad is sure to be a hit at your next gathering.
