Roasted Butternut Squash Panzanella
Squash was a hard sell with my family until I paired it with pumpkin seeds, cranberries and horseradish. Now they love it! —Devon Delaney, Westport, Connecticut

We had this savory salad with grilled linguica sausage. After reading about using the leftover dressing for something else, I made only half a recipe. The combination of flavors is fantastic. Will make this again.
Delicious! My husband is not a butternut squash fan, but he couldn’t stop eating this. It was great the next day, too. The sauce is amazing.
Amazingly delicious. This is a keeper recipe
This was fantastic. I love butternut squash so I knew I would like this but was surprised at just how much I loved it. This is a must make!!!!!!!!
I enjoyed nibbling the leftovers fridge-cold even more. The flavors are so interesting in the dressing and the 'toss', that when I read that she does not add all the dressing to serve, I just added some over what would likely be finished in one sitting and reserved the remainders uncombined to keep the crunch. Next day I discovered it nice to dip small forkfulls into a side of the dressing to coat it much like before, but each bite separately with that glazing maple sweetness & horseradishy accent. Fun trailmix-type squash presentation!
Delicious!. I love Panzanella and this is a great variation of the classic Italian bread salad.
This recipe is delicious! We just kept re-filling our salad bowls.
The whole family enjoyed this dish, which can be difficult with everyone having different tastes. I will be making this for Thanksgiving!
MMMMM!!! EXCELLENT! This made 4 main dishes for us.
