    Was looking for a way to use the acorn squash I had on hand. Being diabetic I ended up substituting fat free/light sour cream for the fraiche, sugar free syrup for the maple syrup. Also skipped the croutons and goat cheese. Placed the baked acorn squash slices in a spiral effect on top of the lettuce mix. Tossed chopped chicken in the dressing with a bit of chopped scallions then placed it in the middle of the salad bowl. Topped it all with a few bacon crumbles, nuts and a drizzle of dressing. YUMMY! The acorn flavor and texture with everything else was terrific. I can only image how delicious it would be with croutons, full-fat, full-sugar ingredients! Saved this one to my Recipe Box! Thanks Emeril for the flavor inspiration! I keep your essence on hand in my spice cupboard.

    A perfect fall side dish. Skipped the goat cheese on the croutons because I didn't have any and added a little shredded smoked gouda cheese to the salad instead. Decadent! Probably could get by with a little less bacon - but then again....

    The first time I made this recipe, I served the salad as a side dish, and it was my favorite part of the meal. It was amazing! Lettuce, rye bread croutons cooked in goat cheese and olive oil, seasoned squash, maple syrup dressing, bacon on top. How could that be bad?

    I served this salad as the main dish today. I used a little more butter and Essence than the recipe called for on the squash, and I subbed dark brown sugar for the light and pecans for the walnuts. This recipe can be adapted to what you have on hand and is very easy except for prepping the squash. My family loved it!
