So delicious! Had all the components of a good Thai meal: sweet (squash), spicy (chile pequin, and I added a pinch of red chile powder for an added kick), sour (lime), and smidge of salt. Very filling too. My husband and I both loved it. -
The taste of lime and garlic in the vinaigrette is just wonderful with the squash. I didn't have an acorn squash but used a butternut which tasted divine. I can imagine the acorn and would be just as wonderful. I will be trying it that way next time. Loved this! -
Thought this was fantastic! A nice change from sweet acorn squash. Minimal preparation for a lovely side dish. Thanks for sharing the recipe! Made for PAC Fall 2008.
