Roasted Squash and Radicchio Salad With Buttermilk Dressing image

Roasted delicata squash brings sweetness and a velvety texture to the bitter radicchio and arugula in this colorful salad. A light buttermilk dressing adds creaminess and brightness. It's satisfying enough for a light dinner, or serve it before or alongside roasted or grilled meat or fish.

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 13

2 delicata squashes (10 ounces each), halved lengthwise, seeded and cut into 1/2-inch half-moons
1 tablespoon honey
1 1/2 teaspoons kosher salt
1/4 teaspoon smoky chile powder, such as New Mexico or chipotle
6 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
1/3 cup buttermilk
2 teaspoons lemon juice
2 teaspoons finely chopped tarragon
1 large garlic clove, grated
1 head radicchio, cored and shredded (4 cups)
4 cups arugula
2/3 cup chopped toasted pecans (see note)
1/3 cup thinly sliced scallions

Steps:

  • Heat oven to 425 degrees. In a large bowl, toss squash with honey, 3/4 teaspoon salt, chile powder and 2 tablespoons olive oil. Transfer to a large rimmed baking sheet. Roast, tossing occasionally, until tender and golden brown, 35 to 40 minutes.
  • Meanwhile, in a small bowl, whisk together buttermilk, lemon juice, tarragon, remaining 3/4 teaspoon salt and the garlic. Whisk in remaining 4 tablespoons (1/4 cup) oil.
  • In a large bowl, combine radicchio, arugula, squash, pecans and scallions. Toss in buttermilk dressing; taste and adjust seasoning as necessary.
