Salad: Warm Indian-Spiced Acorn Squash Salad
Acorn squash always has a place at our table, but this year we’re mixing it up with Indian-inspired flavors. Use garam masala, a spice blend common in Indian and South Asian cuisine, to add a spicy kick to tender oven-roasted acorn squash. Add a few cups of torn mustard greens to welcome guests to the table with warm Asian flavors, and serve with a vinaigrette made from pomegranate juice, red wine vinegar, and honey. This tasty recipe will fit right in with your other international Thanksgiving side dishes! Flavor-Boosting Tip: Just before serving, sprinkle the salad with fresh pomegranate seeds. Not only do they add an extra burst of juiciness, but the bright red seeds combined with the greens will make your salad look festive. Get the recipe: Warm Indian-Spiced Acorn Squash Salad
