This simple salad allows acorn squash to shine, I made it a few weeks ago with pea shoots and greens from my garden. I am excited to get the farm set up in the coming weeks and start planting feel free to follow along on Facebook - Ladybird Farm I will be sure to blog about it also.

- one small acorn squash sliced
- a dash of balsamic vinegar
- salt and pepper to taste
- a dash of olive oil
- a handful of salad greens
- a few sprigs of pea shoots

- a few almonds
Method:
- heat the oven to 400 degrees
- place the sliced acorn squash on a baking sheet with a drizzle of olive oil, balsamic vinegar and salt and pepper and roast for 20-30 minutes until soft
- mean while add a tablespoon of olive oil, a teaspoon of balsamic vinegar, the juice of an orange and a little salt and pepper to a salad dressing mixer and combine ingredients for the vinaigrette
- add a handful of seasonal salad greens to the plate with some orange segments and place the roasted acorn squash on top. One acorn squash should make 2-3 small salad plates
