There are so many ways to use Butternut Squash when it is peeled, cubed and roasted. I especially love it mixed with greens, fruits and nuts in a salad. Try this Butternut Squash with Pear & Pecan Salad! Just drizzle with olive oil and balsamic vinegar for lunch (vegetarians can top with goat or feta cheese).

Asian Pears are available in the Fall/Winter seasons and are delicious in this salad! But, green D’Anjou Pears are great also. Simply core, slice and cube them for the salad. If you do not have an apple corer, just slice the pear in half and scoop or cut out the seeds.
