This was a fabulous autumn salad. It's good for you, tasted great and had a great mix of textures, both soft and crunchy. I found a gala apple but my store didn't have any radicchio so I just omitted it. I recommend using roasted sunflower seeds. I bought pre-cubed butternut squash since it can be a pain to peel and cube yourself. Plan to finish it right after you make it, because it doesn't keep well. Very good and unique! Thanks :)
