Method

Preparation of Ingredients

  1. 1

    Roast the Butternut Squash

    Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C). Peel and cube the butternut squash into 1-inch pieces. Toss the cubes with 1 tablespoon of olive oil, salt, and pepper. Spread them on a baking sheet and roast for 25-30 minutes until tender and slightly caramelized, stirring halfway through.

  2. 2

    Prepare the Bread

    While the squash is roasting, cut the baguette into bite-sized cubes. Toss with 1 tablespoon of olive oil and spread on another baking sheet. Toast in the oven for the last 10-15 minutes of the squash roasting time, until golden brown.

  3. 3

    Slice the Onions and Tomatoes

    Thinly slice the red onion and halve the cherry tomatoes. Set aside.

Making the Dressing

  1. 4

    Combine Dressing Ingredients

    In a small bowl, whisk together 4 tablespoons of olive oil, 2 tablespoons of balsamic vinegar, 1 tablespoon of honey, minced garlic, salt, and black pepper until well combined.

Assembling the Salad

  1. 5

    Mix the Salad Ingredients

    In a large bowl, combine the roasted butternut squash, toasted bread cubes, fresh spinach, sliced red onion, and cherry tomatoes.

  2. 6

    Drizzle with Dressing

    Pour the dressing over the salad and toss gently to combine, ensuring everything is well coated.

  3. 7

    Add Toppings

    Sprinkle crumbled feta cheese, pumpkin seeds, and chopped fresh basil on top of the salad before serving.
