Warm Potato & Acorn Squash Salad – Munch Madness

by FarmgirlGourmet March 11, 2013

Warm Potato & Acorn Squash Salad - farmgirlgourmet.comI am so excited to be a part of the Kitchen PLAY and Knuckle Salad Munch Madness challenge that’s sponsored by US Potatoes – did you see the awesome badge on my sidebar?  This challenge is all about potatoes where 8 food bloggers will create healthy, light recipes, perfect for spring and then the fun part begins.  Those 8 recipes will go through a “March Madness” type bracketing playoff (see the infographic below) and one foodie will rein supreme.  Will it be me?  I sure hope so!

As soon as spring weather hits, I am all about warm potato salads using my barbecue wok, but since it’s still pretty cold out, I roasted the veggies in the oven instead.  I used a bag of mixed fingerling potatoes, acorn squash and spinach & arugula mix.  Tossed in some reduced fat feta cheese, fresh herbs, some heart healthy olive oil and a large pinch of red pepper flakes and the end result was a healthy side or lunch salad.

Potatoes have gotten a bad rep over the years as being a good for nothing starch, but did you know that one medium potato has more potassium then bananas, spinach or even broccoli?  It’s true!  See other great potato facts at http://www.potatogoodness.com/nutrition.

Wah, I have no idea what an acorn squash is?! We have butternut pumpkins over here that look similar but… hm. Your salad looks so gorgeous though. Perfect for between seasons!

As a vegetarian, I always got stuck next to the potato salad at family picnics. It got tiresome after awhile. But let me tell you something – this is one potato salad I would never grow tired of. Love it!

Brenda @ a farmgirl's dabbles March 12, 2013 - 9:22 pm

Oh my goodness, Heather – what a gorgeous salad. I love it!!

Angie March 12, 2013 - 1:56 pm

This is a great idea, warm salads! Perfect for spring!

juliajolliff March 12, 2013 - 1:55 pm

The colors in this salad look just beautiful. Sounds like a delicious salad.

Erika @ The Hopeless Housewife March 12, 2013 - 10:49 am

Such a gorgeous salad!

Laura (Tutti Dolci) March 12, 2013 - 8:56 am

This is my favorite kind of potato salad – warm and mayo-free!

Marnely Rodriguez-Murray March 11, 2013 - 8:39 pm

At times, I love potato salad over bacon and Nutella together. I could eat my weight in it and I love this version1

Stephie @ Eat Your Heart Out March 11, 2013 - 8:37 pm

Oh my, this just looks positively divine!

Milisa Armstrong March 11, 2013 - 7:24 pm

This looks so wonderful! Comforting and totally delish! You are going to do well in this competition!

Kate | Food Babbles March 11, 2013 - 2:34 pm

This salad is simply gorgeous! Your recipe will most definitely be stiff competition. I’ll certainly be making this. It sounds light but so flavorful and I love the toss of feta in there too. Lovely!
