Preparation Instructions

  1. 1

    Roast the Squash

    Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C). Toss the cubed butternut squash with olive oil, salt, and black pepper. Spread it out on a baking sheet and roast for 20-25 minutes until tender and slightly caramelized.

  2. 2

    Prepare the Salad Base

    In a large salad bowl, combine the fresh spinach and chickpeas.

  3. 3

    Add Avocado and Burrata

    Slice the avocado and gently tear the burrata cheese into pieces. Add both to the salad bowl.

  4. 4

    Mix in Roasted Squash

    Once the squash is done roasting, let it cool slightly before adding it to the salad.

  5. 5

    Dress the Salad

    Drizzle balsamic vinegar over the salad and toss gently to combine. Adjust seasoning with additional salt and pepper if needed.

  6. 6

    Top with Pico de Gallo

    Finally, spoon the pico de gallo over the top of the salad for added flavor and freshness.

  7. 7

    Serve

    Serve the salad immediately as a fresh and vibrant fall dish.
