Dandelion Salad with Pomegranate Seeds, Pine Nuts, and Roasted Delicata Squash

Course: Salads
Servings

8

servings

Ingredients

  • 6 tablespoons pomegranate juice

  • 1 ½ tablespoons balsamic vinegar

  • 1 ½ tablespoons red wine vinegar

  • 7 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil

  • 2 tablespoons butter, divided

  • 2 unpeeled medium delicata squash or 1 medium acorn squash, halved, seeded, cut into 24 wedges total

  • 1 pound dandelion greens, thick stems trimmed, leaves cut into 2-inch lengths (about 12 cups)

  • 1 ½ cups pomegranate seeds

  • ¼ cup pine nuts, toasted

Directions

  • Whisk pomegranate juice and vinegars in bowl. Gradually whisk in oil. Season with salt and pepper. Set aside; re-whisk before using.
  • Melt 2 teaspoons butter in heavy large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Add 1⁄3 of squash wedges. Cook until browned on both sides, about 5 minutes total. Transfer squash wedges to rimmed baking sheet. Repeat 2 more times with remaining butter and squash wedges. Sprinkle squash with salt and pepper. (Can be prepared 6 hours ahead. Let stand at room temperature.)
  • Preheat oven to 450°. Transfer squash to oven; bake 20 minutes.
  • Mix greens, pomegranate seeds, and pine nuts in large bowl. Toss with half of dressing. Divide salad mixture among plates and top with squash. Drizzle with remaining dressing.

Notes

  • Recipe from Bon Appétit
  • I prefer to use arugula over the dandelion greens, which have a stronger flavor.
