The Winter Salad
Ingredients
- 1 acorn squash, seeds removed and sliced
- 1 (8-ounce) bag spring mix lettuce
- 1 head frisee lettuce
- 1/2 cup toasted walnuts
- 1/4 cup dried cherries
Method
- Preheat oven to 400°F.
- In large bowl, toss the acorn squash with olive oil and season with salt. Place on a baking sheet in the oven and roast until the squash is soft and golden brown, about 20 minutes. Set the squash aside until ready to prepare the salad.
- To prepare the salad, in a large bowl, toss together the spring mix, frisee, walnuts, cherries and squash. Drizzle the desired amount of dressing on top of the lettuce and toss to combine. Portion the salad and serve.

- 1/2 cup Victory Headwaters Ale (drink the rest!)
- 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
- 1 tablespoon honey
- 1 teaspoon lemon juice
- 1 tablespoon chopped parsley
- 1/2 cup canola oil
Method
