Chipotle Butternut Squash Panzanella Salad

We are slowly getting settled into the new casa and it is a joy to have a full kitchen again! I’ve been using the oven quite a bit to make sheet pan meals like this Chipotle Butternut Squash Panzanella Salad! This savory bread salad is the perfect way to enjoy a seasonal dish that it still light and healthy. My eating habits have been slipping lately with the busyness of the move. It’s nice to slow down a little!

I have been getting back to the farmers market and it is gourd heaven! We have been eating more meatless dishes and this salad has roasted squash, toasted seasoned bread cubes, and salted pepitas. Spices like cumin, chipotle powder, and coriander pair perfectly with the squash, giving it a warm, almost southwest kick. Peppery arugula give this Chipotle Butternut Squash Panzanella Salad recipe a fresh twist too. Black beans would be a great addition if you want to add a dose of protein.

This salad is best serve warm, family style with your favorite white wine pairing. I used a quality Chardonnay in the Spicy Maple White Wine Vinaigrette so it makes sense it would pair well with the salad. We shared this family style recipe with friends recently since it’s perfect for Holiday Entertaining! I think the dressing would make a really delicious marinade too!

Enjoy~
