Roasted Squash and Radicchio Salad With Buttermilk Dressing image

Roasted delicata squash brings sweetness and a velvety texture to the bitter radicchio and arugula in this colorful salad. A light buttermilk dressing adds creaminess and brightness. It's satisfying enough for a light dinner, or serve it before or alongside roasted or grilled meat or fish.

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 13

2 delicata squashes (10 ounces each), halved lengthwise, seeded and cut into 1/2-inch half-moons
1 tablespoon honey
1 1/2 teaspoons kosher salt
1/4 teaspoon smoky chile powder, such as New Mexico or chipotle
6 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
1/3 cup buttermilk
2 teaspoons lemon juice
2 teaspoons finely chopped tarragon
1 large garlic clove, grated
1 head radicchio, cored and shredded (4 cups)
4 cups arugula
2/3 cup chopped toasted pecans (see note)
1/3 cup thinly sliced scallions

Steps:

  • Heat oven to 425 degrees. In a large bowl, toss squash with honey, 3/4 teaspoon salt, chile powder and 2 tablespoons olive oil. Transfer to a large rimmed baking sheet. Roast, tossing occasionally, until tender and golden brown, 35 to 40 minutes.
  • Meanwhile, in a small bowl, whisk together buttermilk, lemon juice, tarragon, remaining 3/4 teaspoon salt and the garlic. Whisk in remaining 4 tablespoons (1/4 cup) oil.

I'm not usually a fan of radicchio, but it was really good in this salad. The roasting mellowed out the bitterness and the buttermilk dressing helped to balance it out.

I loved the combination of flavors in this salad. The roasted squash was sweet and caramelized, the radicchio was bitter and peppery, and the buttermilk dressing was tangy and creamy. It all came together perfectly.
