“Fall Style” Spinach Salad

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

I LOVE the Fall. To me Fall is pumpkin, squash and warm soups . So when we had some people over for dinner last night and  I was starring at this beautiful butternut squash, I knew I had to find a place for it in my fall inspired dinner menu. I couldn’t decide if it belonged in a side dish mixed together with couscous or in a spinach salad. But the more I thought about it, the salad was the obvious winner, mostly because I was tired of the same old green salad I always make, but also because the combination with the spinach just made sense. The mixture seamed to be a hit and I really loved it!
