Salad Preparation

  1. 1

    Prepare the Greens

    In a large bowl, combine the green leaf lettuce and baby arugula. Toss gently to mix.

  2. 2

    Prepare the Apples

    Core and slice the seasonal apples into thin wedges. Set aside.

  3. 3

    Prepare the Squash

    Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C). Cut the squash into small cubes, toss with melted butter, and season with salt and pepper. Roast in the oven for 25-30 minutes or until tender and caramelized.

  4. 4

    Toast the Walnuts

    In a dry skillet over medium heat, toast the walnuts for about 5-7 minutes until fragrant and lightly browned. Allow to cool, then crush into smaller pieces.

Assembly

  1. 5

    Combine the Ingredients

    Once the squash is roasted and walnuts are toasted, add them to the bowl with greens. Gently crumbled the herbed goat cheese over the top.

  2. 6

    Dress the Salad

    Drizzle the cranberry vinaigrette over the salad, adjusting the amount to taste. Toss gently to combine all ingredients without bruising the greens.

  3. 7

    Serve

    Plate the salad and serve immediately, garnished with additional crushed walnuts if desired.
