This hearty salad is perfect for dinner with crusty grilled bread.  It has a nice balance of earthy, sweet and tangy… and who doesn’t love roasted butternut squash?  It’s an antioxidant powerhouse…high in fiber, potassium, Vitamins C and B6, and Beta-Carotene.

I used store-bought steamed lentils to speed things up.  And I roasted some shallots with the squash, why not?  Next time I will add dried cranberries or fresh pomegranate seeds.
