This squash-centric salad has an irresistible pecan dressing and hardy radicchio that refuses to wilt. The palm-size 898 squash, a new cousin of the beloved honeynut developed by vegetable breeder–mad genius Michael Mazourek, tastes like a turbocharged butternut. It’s now rolling out at farmers’ markets, select grocery stores, and online grocers across the country. Preheating the baking sheet will help the squash sizzle and sear as soon as it hits the pan rather than steam and stick. See all of the Absolutely, Positively Perfect Thanksgiving recipes here.
