Made with tender roasted squash, this butternut squash salad is a delicious lunch or dinner side salad. It's filled with hearty greens, crunchy nuts, shaved parmesan, and an easy maple vinaigrette. Big lunch salads are a go-to for me. Since I work from home, I'm often rummaging in the fridge, putting together whatever bits we have to assemble a meal.
Most people have a favorite comfort food, a dish they turn to for relief after a long, tough week, or just to warm their belly on a cold winter day. Celebrity chefs are no exception. From tried-and-true comfort classics like grilled cheese with tomato soup, mashed potatoes with gravy, or butter noodles, to less common picks like cherrystone clams, celebrity chef comfort food has no rules as long as it's soothing.
It would not be an overstatement to say fall is the greatest time of year at Trader Joe's when everyone's favorite comforting and cheesy treats return for their short seasonal run. While fall products at most places mean pumpkin spice and apple, Trader Joe's seasonal fall items embrace every flavor the season has to offer. There is plenty of pumpkin, of course, but fall also sees new maple products, unique cheeses, and any vegetable you could reasonably slap the word "harvest" on to.
