Fall Harvest Salad with Balsamic-Orange Glaze [Paleo – AIP]

This Fall Harvest Salad is beautiful enough to complement your table for a Thanksgiving or a Christmas meal, yet simple enough to prepare on any weeknight. Kabocha squash and delicata squash share the spotlight in this highly nutritious side dish. Finished off with a delightful balsamic and orange glaze, the sweet and sour flavors of this dish pair well with pretty much any meat, and a big leafy green salad will go perfectly on the side.

Fall Harvest Salad

Kabocha squash & delicata squash

Balsamic-Orange Glaze

Perfect fall side dish!

Kitchen tip: Make sure you spread the pieces of squash in a single layer on a baking sheet so they will roast evenly and brown nicely!

To prepare this dish in advance, store the glaze separately in the refrigerator. Remove the squash from the refrigerator one hour before serving and reheat the glaze until warm. Dress the roasted squash with the warmed glaze immediately before serving.
