Roasted Butternut Squash Arugula Salad

October 29, 2020 by Gretchen Blazer Thompson

This is my favorite fall salad. It’s hearty, flavorful, and simple. I’ve taken it to numerous Friendsgiving’s, holiday parties, and small get togethers over the years and it’s always a crowd pleaser.

Who knew one person could have so many strong feelings about salads?

It’s finally peach season!!  Admittedly, peach season is one of my favorite things about summer.  I may be going a little peach crazy over here, eating them for snacks, putting them in salads, baking with them, adding them to cocktails…
