- 4 cups (1-inch) cubes peeled and seeded butternut squash
5 tablespoons olive oil, divided
3 tablespoons capers, drained
1 tablespoon chopped garlic
Pepper to taste
4 cups (1-inch) cubes baguette or other crusty bread

- Preheat oven to 375°F. Arrange racks in the upper and lower thirds of the oven.
- In a large bowl, toss together squash, 1 tablespoon of the oil, capers, garlic and pepper.
- Transfer to a large baking sheet and bake, tossing occasionally, until tender and golden brown, about 30 minutes.
- Meanwhile, in a large bowl, toss together bread, 1 tablespoon of the remaining oil, sage and salt. Transfer to a second large baking sheet and bake, tossing halfway through, until toasted and golden brown, about 10 minutes.
- Set both squash and bread aside as done to let cool to room temperature.
- In a large bowl, whisk together lemon juice, zest, vinegar, remaining 3 tablespoons oil, salt and pepper to make a dressing. Add lettuce, onions, squash and bread and toss gently to coat. Transfer to plates, top with cheese (if using) and serve immediately.
