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.

Steps:
- Combine the cranberries, orange juice and ginger in a small saucepan over medium-low heat. Cover and cook, stirring occasionally, until the berries have begun to break, 10 minutes or so. Remove from the heat and add the oil, honey and some salt and pepper. Stir until well combined.
- Meanwhile, grate the butternut squash by hand or in a food processor. Transfer the squash to a large bowl, add the warm cranberry dressing, and toss to combine everything. Serve warm or at room temperature. (Or cover and refrigerate the salad for up to several hours; bring to room temperature before serving.)
