It's fall / autumn, apple & pumpkin season. And I've been enjoying experimenting with apples and squash for a variety of recipes. The latest is a very easy and healthy salad, one of my favorite fall salads that merges both fruits and vegetables: Squash & apple.

With a bunch of seeds, full of nutrients and antioxidants. The best part? The dressing: maple syrup and tahini. Tahini goes really well with fall flavors and textures like squash and apples. However it needs to be contrasted with a drizzle of vinegar just for this little bold kick.

This is a great recipe to serve any day or even on Thanksgiving.
