WARM BUTTERNUT SQUASH AND CHICKPEA SALAD WITH TAHINI DRESSING
Categories Salad Side Bake Vegetarian Wheat/Gluten-Free Squash Healthy Vegan
Yield 4 Servings
Number Of Ingredients 15
Steps:
- In a large bowl, combine the butternut squash, garlic, allspice, olive oil, and a few pinches of salt. Toss the squash pieces until evenly coated. Roast them on a baking sheet for 25 minutes, or until soft. Remove from the oven and cool. Meanwhile, make the tahini dressing: In a small bowl, whisk together the garlic and lemon juice. Add the tahini, and whisk to blend. Add the water and olive oil, whisk well, and taste for seasoning. The sauce should have plenty of nutty tahini flavor, but also a little kick of lemon. You will probably need to add more water to thin it out. To assemble the salad, combine the squash, chickpeas, onion, and cilantro or parsley in a mixing bowl. Either add the tahini dressing to taste, and toss carefully, or you could serve the salad with the dressing on the side. Serve immediately.

SOUTHERN CORNBREAD DRESSING IN ACORN SQUASH

Steps:
- Preheat oven to 400°F.
- In a skillet, melt 2 tablespoons butter on medium heat and cook onion and celery for 3 to 4 minutes until tender, stirring occasionally.
- Add chicken broth, sage, thyme and pepper to taste and cook over medium heat for 1 minute.
- In a large bowl, combine bread cubes and cornbread. Pour broth/vegetable mixture over all and stir to combine. If the mixture is dry or crumbly looking, add broth until it will hold together.
- Stir in the eggs. (Stirring in the eggs last prevents the hot broth from scrambling them.).
- Cut acorn squash in half and scoop out the seeds. Cut a small slice off the sides, so the squash will lay flat in the baking dish.
- Generously brush insides of squash with melted butter.
- Spoon a heaping 1/2 cup of the stuffing mixture in each squash half and place in a large shallow baking dish. Drizzle on any remaining melted butter.
- Cover tightly with foil and bake for 1 hour or until squash is tender and dressing is warmed through. If desired, remove foil during the last 10 minutes to brown up the top.

RAW BUTTERNUT SQUASH SALAD WITH CRANBERRY DRESSING
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.

SUMMER SQUASH DRESSING
I serve with recipe#435267, roasted asparagus, coleslaw, and recipe#462312. Have made ahead and also have frozen prior to baking. I prefer baking in shallow layer so it is less soggy. I plan ahead by making 9 inch pan of cornbread day before and then using the leftovers for this. Melt butter in container big enough to hold other ingredients. I have subbed in zucchini also for this.

Tips for Making the Best Squash Dressing:
- Choose the right squash: For the best flavor, use a sweet and flavorful squash, such as butternut squash or acorn squash. - Roast the squash: Roasting the squash brings out its natural sweetness and caramelizes the edges. If you don't have time to roast the squash, you can also use steamed or boiled squash. - Use a good-quality olive oil: The olive oil is the base of the dressing, so make sure to use a good-quality extra virgin olive oil. - Add some acidity: A little bit of acidity helps to balance out the sweetness of the squash. You can use lemon juice, vinegar, or even yogurt. - Season to taste: Add salt, pepper, and other seasonings to taste. You can also add some fresh herbs, such as thyme or rosemary. - Let the dressing sit: Letting the dressing sit for a few minutes allows the flavors to meld together. This will make the dressing even more delicious.Conclusion:
Squash dressing is a delicious and versatile condiment that can be used on salads, sandwiches, and even as a marinade. It's a great way to use up leftover squash, and it's also a healthy and nutritious addition to your diet. With a few simple ingredients and a little bit of time, you can make a delicious squash dressing that your whole family will love.
