It was a BIG HIT (there were no left overs). I cut up the apples before, but covered them in a little bit of dressing to keep them from browning on the way to the brunch. The recipe was very simple and came together really well. I did add a pinch or two more sugar to the salad dressing because it tasted too vinegary at first. Other than that I made no additional changes. I will 100% be making this again!

Ingredients

  • 1 small butternut squash (about 2 pounds), peeled, seeded, and cut into 1 1/2-inch pieces 1 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil 1/2 teaspoon coarse salt Freshly ground pepper, to taste 1 Granny Smith apple, quartered, cored, and thinly sliced 1 head escarole, torn into 2-inch pieces 2 1/2 ounces sharp cheddar cheese, thinly sliced or shaved into ribbons with a vegetable peeler

  • 2 tablespoons white-wine vinegar 2 teaspoons Dijon mustard 1 teaspoon packed light-brown sugar 1/4 teaspoon coarse salt, plus more, to taste Freshly ground pepper, to taste 3 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil

Directions

For the salad: Preheat oven to 425 degrees. Toss squash with oil, salt, and pepper on a rimmed baking sheet. Roast until tender and caramelized, 20 to 25 minutes. Let cool completely on a wire rack.

Make the dressing: Whisk together vinegar, mustard, sugar, 1/4 teaspoon salt, and pepper. Add oil in a slow, steady stream, whisking until emulsified.

Gently toss squash, apple, escarole, and half the cheese in a large serving bowl. Season with salt and pepper. Drizzle with dressing, and toss again. Top with remaining cheese.
