Chipotle black bean and butternut squash salad
Hot sauces

My yearnings for the light flavors of summer brought me to dream up this side dish salad. So often when I make winter veggies, they are hot and rich. The beauty of this salad is that it celebrates butternut squash, a classic fall and winter vegetable, but tastes very light and fresh. Instead of the traditional approaches of blending it into a savory soup or other hot preparation, the squash is roasted then tossed with black beans, onions, cilantro, and a sweet and smoky chipotle dressing. Serve the salad room temperature garnished with roasted pepitas (hulled pumpkin seeds) and feta or goat cheese.
