The only work needed for this salad was to cut open the squash and chop it up. And it was totally worth the work. The salad tasted simple and clean with nutty crunch from toasted almonds, sweetness from the squash and freshness from lemon juice. I even got someone who refused to eat squash to finish his plate.

Here's the recipe: Gourmet's
Roasted Butternut Squash and Spinach Salad with Toasted Almond Dressing
I got the wrong type of squash but no matter. The salad was delicious.
