This winter squash salad looks like carrot salad and is just as good to eat. It is a great winter alternative to tossed lettuce salads. Fresh and fruity, mixed with apples, it taste good too. Serves 4-8.

2 Tbsp fresh Lemon Juice

1 Tbsp Apple Juice Concentrate

1 Tbsp Water

Freshly ground Pepper

3-4 Tbsp Cold -pressed Extra virgin Olive Oil

1 LB. Meaty Winter Squash, such as Butternut or Acorn

2 small Apples

2 Tbsp Sunflower Seeds (you may soak the seeds, just cover with water and soak for two hours)


Whisk lemon juice, apple juice, water, pepper, olive oil together to make a vinaigrette.

Seed, peel and grate the winter squash (about 3 cups Grated). Seed and grate the apples (about 1 cup). You may peel the apple if you wish.

Toss the squash and apple with the salad dressing. Sprinkle with sunflower seeds. Serve.
