This is a double leftover salad. I really liked it except for that squash! Texture and size of the pieces were too odd with the pleasing crunch of the rest of the salad. It was a fun idea, though, and pleasing to execute: scooping acorn squash out with a melon baller. I wonder what other salads I could do with that. Hey, I feel the start of a new blog coming: 100 Dishes to Make With an Acorn Squash Ball.
Garden Salad with Chow Mein and Squash
Ingredients:
- Cold leftover chow mein noodles
- Acorn squash, scooped out with melon baller (though I don’t recommend this; just documenting honestly)
- Frisee
- Radishes
- Small amount of canola oil (peanut or sesame would be great, but maybe not with that squash, which I still don’t recommend)
- Small amount of rice wine vinegar
- Black sesame seeds
Toss everything but the black sesame seeds together, then sprinkle seeds over the top. Remove squash, then enjoy the rest. Eat squash for dessert.
