Kabocha Squash Salad with Chevre & Pomegranate

Of all the pumpkins in all the land, Full Belly’s kabocha squash is a treat—squat, sturdy, and burnished orange, with flesh that's fluffy and sweet. It's a struggle to resist snacking it straight off a roasting pan, let alone get it into a salad or pie. “The color [of the red kabocha] draws you in,” says Amon Muller of Full Belly Kitchen, “it has a wonderful aroma and a warm honey flavor.” He tosses this personal favorite with pasta and chard, or purees it to spread on flatbread. But most of all, the family loves it in a simple salad, dressed with tangy salsa verde, and topped with tart pomegranate seeds.
