The fresh herbs bring the color, and the chopped hazelnuts bring the crunch. Even better the next day, this salad is always a great candidate for doubling, so your guests get to take home leftovers — or you can simply take advantage of having lunch ready for the next few days. Start to Finish: 90 minutes | Serves 6-8 For the Dressing: Preheat oven to 425°F. Place the squash and onion slices in a medium bowl and 1 clove garlic, finely minced drizzle with maple syrup and olive oil. 2 tablespoons sherry vinegar Sprinkle with salt and pepper and toss to 1 1/2 tablespoons Dijon mustard coat.
