Oriental Squash Salad

Butternut SquashThis delectable squash salad recipe is an excellent side dish for the holiday season, which we know can be a gastronomical challenge if you are a foodie and a health buff rolled into one.

As the weather gets cooler and our appetites dream of something warm and hearty for our Thanksgiving or Christmas parties, we also want something that is very good in the digestive arena and user friendly navigating through the GI tract. We turn to squashes, and they come to our rescue in ways we can truly be thankful for.

Squashes are truly versatile, supercharged with goodness. Both butternut and kabocha squashes, the stars of this recipe, are starchy and sweet, great on flavor as you roast them in the oven, are also loaded with antioxidants, have anti-inflammatory benefits, in addition to regulating blood sugar and promoting heart health. In conjunction with sage and fennel, which feature in this salad as well, they are great allies against any digestive disorders. Sage, true to its name, keeps the mind very calm and stress free, enhances memory and is a good source of antioxidants as well. Bring on rapini and pomegranate seeds, and Vaidyaji helps bring to our tables a truly colorful creation, warm, comforting and deliciously healthy.

Testimonials

What I love about AUMcuisine is the overall sense of being restored to a healthy and happy balance on an ongoing basis. Every day and every meal.

The food is mind bogglingly creative, its variety and range quite astonishing. Every meal springs a new revelation, taking me on a little bit of a global excursion to discover new flavors.

Also, I can now practically see how everyday nutrition can be both truly healthy and consistently delicious.

Thanks to this happy convergence, I can almost see how my relationship with food and nutrition is changing, and quite deeply at that. Thank you so much Vaidya Priyanka for enabling this change.
