This cool-weather panzanella trades tomatoes for caramelized roasted squash. It is a great salad for a buffet, but you can also make a meal of it.

Time 1h

Yield 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 17

1/2 delicata or medium butternut squash (about 1 1/4 pounds), peeled if butternut, seeded and sliced into 1/4- to 1/2-inch-thick moons
8 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
Salt
8 ounces stale bread, torn into bite-size pieces (about 5 cups)
2 1/2 tablespoons red wine vinegar or sherry vinegar
1 teaspoon balsamic vinegar
1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
1 plump garlic clove, mashed to a paste in a mortar and pestle or put through a garlic press
3/4 cup thinly sliced celery
1/2 cup thinly sliced radishes
1 1/2 teaspoons chopped fresh thyme
2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley
Ground black pepper
1 romaine lettuce heart, leaves rinsed, dried, and torn into smaller pieces
1 tablespoon chopped chives
1 ounce shaved Parmesan
1 tablespoon chopped fresh sage

Steps:

  • Heat oven to 425 degrees. Line a baking sheet with parchment. Toss the squash with 1 tablespoon olive oil and salt to taste. Roast 25 minutes or until soft and caramelized on the edges, turning the slices over halfway through. Remove from heat.
  • Heat 2 tablespoons olive oil in a large, heavy skillet over medium heat. Add bread and stir until crisp, 4 to 6 minutes. Remove from heat.
  • Make the vinaigrette: In a small bowl, whisk together vinegars, salt to taste, mustard, garlic and 4 tablespoons (1/4 cup) olive oil.
  • Combine bread, celery, radishes, half the squash, thyme, parsley and pepper in a large bowl. Add 1/4 cup vinaigrette and toss together.
  • Whisk 1 tablespoon olive oil into remaining vinaigrette and toss with lettuce and chives. Place on a platter or in a wide bowl and top with bread mixture. Garnish with remaining squash and the Parmesan shavings. Sprinkle sage over the top, and serve.
