Field Greens with Roasted Butternut Squash

My favorite neighborhood wine bar and bistro, DVine, serves a similar salad.  When Love Grows Farms had field greens and butternut squash this week, I decided to see if I could re-create it.

1.  With a vegetable peeler, peel a small butternut squash.
2.  Slice squash open, remove seeds and fibers, and cut into 1 inch squares.
3.  Put about 1 T. olive oil in your hands and rub on the squash squares to cover them lightly with oil.
4.  Place on a cookie sheet in a single layer.  Season with fresh ground salt and pepper.
5.  Bake in 350 oven for about 15-20 minutes, turning every 5-7 minutes until browned and soft.
6.  On another cookie sheet, toast 2-3 T. chopped walnuts in the oven, being careful not to burn them.
7.  In a salad bowl, put 1 T. roasted sesame oil and 2 T. seasoned rice vinegar.
8.  When squash is tender and nuts browned, allow them to cool slightly, then add to salad bowl.
9.  Add 4-6 handfuls of field greens
10.  Toss and serve.

Serves 4 people.
