I have served this variation of squash often. It's a nice side dish, especially appropriate in the fall— or it can be used for a main luncheon dish. If you prepare your squash ahead and freeze it, it takes very little time to put this recipe together.

If you're not a hard core squash lover, as my family is not, make sure to cut the squash into very small cubes and salt it a bit before adding it to the other ingredients so it won't taste quite as "squashy". But I loved the combination of flavors and my family liked it too. I will make this again, but next time I think I'd like to add more apple, more cabbage, and a bit less squash. I didn't have almonds on hand, so I used walnuts, which were very good with this.
