I SO JUST SQUASHED THE CAPRESE SALAD GAME. Sorry, not sorry tomatoes.

Bye bye tomatoes and basil, HELLLLOOOOO ACORN SQAUSH AND SAGE! No hate on the classic caprese salad, I’m just bored. So, I changed up the game (if you’re with me, you’re welcome!).

MAKE IT PICKABLE BITES. I know I made this dish in more of a Fall salad form but if you’re looking to make this dish something guests can nibble on at say Thanksgiving or Friendsgiving, you can easily adapt this recipe. Simply cut the acorn squash into cubes instead of long wedges and halve the balls so that they can sit flat on your squash. FYI. I didn’t test it this way so if you do, make sure to check on the acorn squash when it’s roasting. The smaller pieces will likely cook a bit faster than the few wedges. I’d check about 15 minutes in.
