I really wanted and even expected to enjoy this more than I did. Yes it is kind of like a sophisticated carrot raisin salad, but something in the flavor turned me off to it.

A different fresh salad, perfect in Autumn. If you think squash can't be eaten raw think of carrots. Try a bite. The toasted walnuts and honey make the recipe in my opinion. I didn't change an ingredient or instruction.
