    Your squash salad is lovely. Delicata squash sliced in rings is a thing of beauty and crunchy nuts always add some class.

      Sam, I am so happy to have found these. They are just the right size. And, yes on the crunchy nuts – any kind for me.

    I have 2 delicates that I had no idea what to do with other than use them as part of fall decor. Your recipe will be on the table for guests this week. Thanks!

      Linda, give one a try and save one for decorating. I am betting you will be roasting the other before long. They cook fast and are sweet (not too sweet) and nutty tasting when roasted.

      Thanks for stopping by.

        Someone gave me some pumpkin spice vinegar. This might be a good time to use it.

    What a beautiful salad, Madonna. You’ve introduced me to a new to me squash. Your photo is just so colorful. I’m certainly on your bandwagon with homemade salad dressing, my friend! Thanks for the tip on TJ’s crackers, too.
    Yes, salad and bars sounds like a plan!

    I use raw summer squash in my salads, but need to find this delicata squash. I love the combination of walnuts, cranberries with the roasted squash and greens. Thank you for sharing this delicious recipe at Make It Monday.

      Donna, I found these at Trader Joe’s. I hope you have one in your area, or maybe at the farmers market. Let me know if you find them what your thoughts are. Thanks for stopping by.

    We’re definitely in sweater weather here! So squash recipes are most welcome. This looks really good. And we almost always whip up our own dressing — so easy, and it takes 2 minutes, tops. Good post — thanks.

      These little guys just take a short time to roast so even with warm weather they still are appealing to me. Thanks for stopping by John, love your input.

    Yum, this is my idea of a delicious salad. Delicata is my favorite squash variety and I’ve never thought to add it to a salad like this. Walnuts are the perfect garnish.

      Marie, I just keep trying to tell everyone how good this is. I think they think it is just a salad. I feel really good about being in such good company, as you know I love your food. Thanks for stopping by.

    I’ve seen that type of squash before (though I didn’t know it was a delicata!). I recnety really enjoyed some butternut squash, so I need to give this a try. My husband loves salads, walnuts, and cranberries, so I think this sounds like a great way to try a new squash out on him! Visiting from What to do Weekends. =)

    I’ve seen the squash in our markets but have never tried it. Thanks for the recommendation as your salad looks great. Fall is definitely here in New Hampshire…tomorrows high is only supposed to be 50 so you need more than a sweater when you go out in the mornings.
