Fall Panzanella Salad
Ingredients:
- 2 lb 4 oz/1.02 kg butternut squash, peeled and cut into medium dice
- 2 fl oz/60 mL olive oil
- ½ oz/14 g salt, plus as needed
- 8 oz/227 g dried cranberries
- 14 oz/ 397 g sourdough bread
- 4 oz/113 g walnuts, toasted and roughly chopped
- 3 tbsp/9 g sage chiffonade
- 16 fl oz/480 mL Roasted Shallot Vinaigrette (page 32)
Yield: 10 servings
1. Lightly coat the diced squash with some of the olive oil and season with salt and pepper. Spread the squash out on a parchment-lined sheet pan and bake in a 350°F/177°C oven until it is tender yet still holds it shape, about 30 minutes. Allow to cool to room temperature.
2. Rehydrate the cranberries in hot water for 5 to 10 minutes; discard water.
3. Cut the sourdough down the center lengthwise and brush the insides very lightly with the remaining olive oil. Grill the bread, cut side down, over medium heat to dry out and get marks. Rotate the bread halfway through to get crosshatch marks, if desired. Cool and cut the bread into a large dice. If needed, bake the cubes in the oven to dry out further. The cubes should be crisp on the outside but still slightly tender and chewy on the inside. They should not be completely dried out like croutons.
4. Once the squash and bread are cool, combine them with the cranberries, walnuts, sage, and vinaigrette and fold very gently to keep the shape of the squash. (Note: The amount of dressing needed may vary depending on the bread used.)
5. Taste and adjust seasoning as needed with salt and pepper.
Chef’s Note:
This salad is best if made the day before serving and is a thrifty way to use bread that has become too dry for slicing and eating. The squash can be roasted and the bread can be grilled ahead of time before tossing the salad ingredients together.
