Salad Base

Method

Preparing the Vegetables

  1. 1

    Roasting the Beets

    Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Wrap each beet in aluminum foil and place them on a baking sheet. Roast for approximately 45 minutes to 1 hour, or until they are tender when pierced with a fork. Allow to cool, then peel and slice into wedges.

  2. 2

    Roasting the Butternut Squash

    While the beets are roasting, peel and cube the butternut squash into 1-inch pieces. Toss with olive oil, salt, and pepper. Spread on a baking sheet and roast in the same oven for 25-30 minutes, or until tender and slightly caramelized.

Making the Dressing

  1. 3

    Combine Dressing Ingredients

    In a small bowl, whisk together maple syrup, Dijon mustard, olive oil, apple cider vinegar, salt, and pepper until well combined. Adjust seasoning to taste.

Assembling the Salad

  1. 4

    Combine Salad Ingredients

    In a large bowl, combine mixed greens, arugula, sliced roasted beets, roasted butternut squash, and hearts of palm. Toss gently to mix.

  2. 5

    Add Toppings and Dressing

    Crumble local goat cheese over the salad and sprinkle with candied pecans. Drizzle the maple mustard vinaigrette over the top and toss gently to combine.
