Preparation

Step 1

Use a fork to mash together blue cheese and lemon juice in a large bowl to make a thick smooth dressing. Season with salt and pepper; set aside.

Heat oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add onions, salt and pepper, and cook, stirring occasionally, until golden brown, about 5 minutes.

Add spinach and cook, tossing often, until slightly wilted and warm, 1 to 2 minutes more.

Transfer contents of skillet to bowl with dressing, add squash, salt and pepper and toss to combine.
