Allow to cool for 5-10 minutes on the baking sheet before adding to salad.
  2. While the squash is roasting make the tahini sauce my simply whisking everything together.
  3. Toast the walnuts in a dry pan over medium heat just until they start to get a little bit of color. Remove and allow to cool.
  4. To assemble: Divide the greens between four different plates, top with a few slices of apple and squash. Drizzle a tablespoon each of the lemon agave dressing and the tahini sauce over the salad. Crush a few walnuts between your fingers and sprinkle over the salad.
Notes
  1. Delicata squash skin is super tender so there is no need to remove it just give it a good wash.
  2. Feel free to serve this salad family style by placing the greens in a large bowl, top with apples, squash and walnuts and dress just before serving.
  3. Toss the apple slices with a bit of lemon juice to prevent browning.

Not into these salads but have a bunch of leftover squash (I mean who really wants to eat the squash?) I have this delicious and creamy pasta recipe for you. I used butternut squash but feel free to use whatever you have. This would also be great with leftover carrots, sweet potato or cauliflower.
