Warm Spinach Salad with Delicata Squash and Ricotta Salata
Delicata squash, which has sweet, pale-orange flesh, is a good source of vitamins A and C, potassium and iron. When roasted, the pretty scalloped peel of this winter squash becomes tender enough to eat. If you can’t find Delicata, use cubes of cooked butternut squash or sweet potato.
