This dish was an instant favorite at a Canadian Friends-giving a few years back. James and I get TWO Thanksgivings every year, we are SO lucky! Traditional dishes for this occasion come in lots of different shades of beige, this Squash salad adds color to the table. This is an easy vegetarian side to make that can be served hot or cold and travels well so it’s perfect for potlucks and family style sharing. It has well balanced sweet and savory components that you find in Sweet Potato casseroles and Bread puddings.
