Tips from Home Chefs

1 Prepare & roast the squash

Preheat the oven to 450°F. Line a sheet pan with foil. Wash and dry the fresh produce. Cut off and discard the ends of the squash. Halve lengthwise; using a spoon, scoop out and discard the pulp and seeds, then cut crosswise into ½-inch pieces. Place on the sheet pan. Drizzle with olive oil and season with salt and pepper. Toss to coat; arrange in an even layer. Roast 20 to 22 minutes, or until browned and tender. Remove from the oven.

2 Prepare the remaining ingredients

Meanwhile, roughly chop the almonds. Pick the rosemary leaves off the stems; roughly chop the leaves. Quarter, core, and thinly slice the apple. In a bowl, whisk together the vinegar, honey, mustard, and 2 tablespoons of olive oil. Season with salt and pepper.

3 Toast the breadcrumbs & serve your dish

In a medium pan, heat a drizzle of olive oil on medium-high until hot. Add the breadcrumbs, chopped almonds, and chopped rosemary; season with salt and pepper. Cook, stirring frequently, 2 to 3 minutes, or until toasted. Turn off the heat. In a large bowl, combine the arugula, spinach, sliced apple, roasted squash, and vinaigrette. Toss to coat; taste, then season with salt and pepper if desired. Serve the salad garnished with toasted breadcrumbs. Enjoy!
