This salad is easy to prepare yet offers a variety of interesting and unique flavors. The spice blend used for the squash is very different from the usual brown sugar or maple and paired with the bitter greens, was delightful. The only change I made was to the dressing, using 4 chiles instead of the 10 called for. The result was still way too spicy for me but my husband thought it was perfect.
