RAW BUTTERNUT SQUASH SALAD WITH CRANBERRY DRESSING
People aren't accustomed to eating raw butternut squash, but when it's grated, it has a wonderful, crunchy quality, and it's also very pretty. Here, a jumble of grated squash is tossed with a dressing made out of fresh cranberries, honey, orange juice and fresh ginger. It's a lively, fresh twist on the traditional mashed and heavily-buttered treatment.

Tips:
- To ensure a smooth and creamy dressing, blend the butternut squash until it reaches a velvety texture. This will help incorporate all the flavors and create a uniform consistency.
- For a richer flavor, roast the butternut squash before blending. Roasting caramelizes the natural sugars in the squash, enhancing its sweetness and adding a nutty depth to the dressing.
- Adjust the amount of maple syrup or honey to suit your preferred level of sweetness. Taste the dressing as you go and add more sweetener if desired.
- Feel free to experiment with different herbs and spices to create unique flavor variations. Some popular options include cinnamon, nutmeg, ginger, and sage.
- For a tangy twist, add a splash of lemon juice or vinegar to the dressing. This will help balance out the sweetness of the butternut squash and add a refreshing brightness.
- Store the dressing in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 5 days. Give it a good shake before using, as the ingredients may separate during storage.
