Feta and bread get roasted alongside squash, then tossed with pleasantly bitter greens for a vegetarian dinner salad that’s equal parts warm and cold, soft and crunchy, and sweet and savory.

Yield
4 servings

Ingredients

1 large or 2 small acorn or delicata squash (about 1½ lb. total), halved lengthwise, seeded, cut into ¼" slices

¼ tsp. freshly ground black pepper

½ cup extra-virgin olive oil, divided

1½ tsp. kosher salt, divided

4 slices country bread, cut into 1" cubes (about 4 cups)

½ lb. Greek feta, cut into 1" cubes

¼ cup sherry or red wine vinegar

1 tsp. honey

1 tsp. thyme leaves

1 head of radicchio or ½ head of escarole, leaves separated, torn into large pieces

Aleppo-style pepper (for serving; optional)

Preparation

Step 1
Arrange a rack in top third of oven; preheat to 400°F. Toss squash, black pepper, 2 Tbsp. oil, and 1 tsp. salt on an 18x13" rimmed baking sheet and arrange in an even layer. Roast until squash is beginning to brown on one side, 10–15 minutes. Turn squash, then arrange bread and feta over. Roast until bread is lightly toasted and feta is soft and warmed through, 8–10 minutes.
Step 2
Whisk vinegar, honey, thyme, and remaining 6 Tbsp. oil and ½ tsp. salt in a large bowl until well combined. Add radicchio and hot squash mixture and toss to combine.
Step 3
Transfer to a platter and sprinkle with Aleppo pepper (if using).
