FALL WEDGE SALAD WITH ARTISAN ROMAINE AND BUTTERNUT SQUASH
The Artisan Romaine from Tanimura & Antle is so pretty, I almost hate chopping it up. Artisan Romaine has the refreshing crunch of iceberg lettuce & the sweet flavor of a romaine heart. We buy a bag of it every week from Costco.
When sliced in half, the Artisan Romaine is like a beautifully layered bowl that drinks up the dressing without getting soggy. So I decided to create a fall wedge salad that highlights their beauty, while combining some of our favorite autumn ingredients.
One of the things I love about this fall wedge salad, is that you can buy pomegranate arils, plus peeled and chopped butternut squash, and eliminate quite a bit of prep time.
You can make the dressing while the squash cooks and plate it with the squash hot, or make everything in advance and keep it in the fridge until ready to serve.
Just before guests arrive, simply place one Artisan Romaine half on each salad plate, top with the cinnamon roasted butternut squash, pomegranate seeds, and walnuts, then drizzle generously with dressing. You’ll love it, and so will they!

Fall Wedge Salad with Artisan Romaine and Butternut Squash
This beautiful salad is so simple to make, with impressive presentation. Perfect for easy entertaining. If you're serving vegan guests, swap the honey with maple syrup. If you don't need the salad dairy free, add some crumbled goat cheese to push this salad from delicious to mind-blowing!

I love how this wedge salad is perfect for fall!!
This salad looks crisp and delicious!
What a beautiful salad!!
Roasting Butternut Squash brings out its sweetness and deep flavor which gives a richness to the squash. This salad looks very fresh and colorful and the different textures of the ingredients used I am sure will enhance the pleasure of eating this salad. Thank you for the great idea of using the lettuce as a bowl.
