Salad Ingredients

Method

Preparation

  1. 1

    Roast the Butternut Squash

    Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C). Peel, seed, and cube the butternut squash. Toss the cubes with 1 tablespoon of olive oil and a pinch of salt. Spread on a baking sheet and roast for 25-30 minutes, or until tender and golden brown, stirring halfway through.

  2. 2

    Toast the Pumpkin Seeds

    In a small skillet over medium heat, toast the pumpkin seeds for 3-5 minutes, stirring frequently, until they are golden and fragrant. Remove from heat and set aside.

  3. 3

    Make the Maple-Rosemary Vinaigrette

    In a small bowl, whisk together 2 tablespoons of olive oil, 1 tablespoon of maple syrup, 1 teaspoon of fresh rosemary (chopped), salt, and pepper to taste.

  4. 4

    Assemble the Salad

    In a large bowl, combine the mixed greens, roasted butternut squash, crumbled goat cheese, and toasted pumpkin seeds. Drizzle with the maple-rosemary vinaigrette and toss gently to combine.
