Butternut Squash Panzanella Salad
Description
This panzanella salad offers you a great way to use up some of your stale(ish) bread that you might have leftover from Thanksgiving! It’s also an excellent way to use seasonal produce, such as butternut squash and pears, while adding a festive twist with a cranberry vinaigrette. The crunchy croutons complement the texture of the roasted vegetables, making it a hearty, yet refreshing, salad for any occasion. Best served fresh so croutons still have a little crunch to them.
