Healthy Recipes Healthy Salad Recipes Fall Panzanella with Kale, Apple & Roasted Acorn Squash Be the first to rate & review! Classic Italian panzanella is a summery salad of bread, tomatoes and onions. Here, the dish gets the fall treatment with roasted acorn squash and tart apple instead. Be sure to toss the salad while the squash is still warm. Delicata or honeynut squash would work just as well in place of the acorn squash.
