Apple & Butternut Squash Salad

Recipe: Apple & Butternut Squash Salad

Apple & Butternut Squash Salad is delicious, pretty, healthy and nourishing. Serve it cold or warm, it is definitely is perfect for the Fall season. What I like about this salad is that it has room for so many other ingredients. The first time I had made this salad in 2015  which just butternut squash and apple. Over time I kept on adding more ingredients to it. And now, it is our favourite light meal. As Fall begins, it is still pretty warm to enjoy salads and the aromatic crisp apples are just too tempting to avoid.

Sharing Apple & Butternut Squash Salad Recipe With The Group Sunday Funday

The host for this Sunday is Wendy who blogs at A Day in the Life on the Farm. She suggested the following, “Fall has officially arrived. Goodbye, Zucchini, Pattypan, and Yellow Squash. Hello, Pumpkins, Acorn, Hubbard, and Butternut Squash. Share any recipe you like using any hard squash of choice.” For me, as Fall begins, Apple & Butternut Squash Salad is a must. Before you know it, the days get colder and salads then take a back seat. Depending on the weather, we enjoy it either cold or warm.
