Spinach and Squash Salad

Continuing with my butternut squash theme, I wanted to share what I threw together with the extra squash from my Butternut Squash Risotto.

Since it was already cooked and cubed, I added it to a healthy salad.  The idea was inspired by the Moroccan Spiced Chicken salad at California Pizza Kitchen.  I added some of my favorite winter salad ingredients: spinach, goat cheese, dried cherries, and toasted walnuts.

Then I just topped it with a homemade Chardonnay dressing:

• 1 tsp. Dijon
• 1 tsp. honey
• dash salt
• dash pepper
• 2 Tbsp. lemon juice
• 2 Tbsp. olive oil
• 1/8 c. white wine

Combine, mix, and pour.
