This hearty butternut squash salad could qualify as dinner. It’s full of roasted butternut squash, nutritious kale, whole grains, seeds and olive oil. Granted, this blog needed another kale salad like my closet needed another motorcycle jacket… which is to say not really but absolutely.
Traditionally, panzanella is a summertime salad made with cucumbers, tomatoes, onion, vinegar and croutons made from stale bread. As far as I can tell, though, any salad featuring vegetables, vinaigrette and homemade croutons qualifies as panzanella these days. I felt like balsamic vinaigrette, though unconventional for panzanella, worked best with the wintery flavors.
