Salad Base

Method

Salad Preparation

  1. 1

    Prepare the Roasted Squash

    Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C). Cut the squash in half, remove the seeds, and slice into wedges. Toss with olive oil, salt, and pepper, then spread on a baking sheet. Roast for 25-30 minutes or until tender and slightly caramelized.

  2. 2

    Assemble the Salad

    In a large bowl, combine the mixed greens, roasted squash, dried cranberries, and pecans. Toss gently to mix the ingredients evenly.

Vinaigrette Preparation

  1. 3

    Make the Vinaigrette

    In a small bowl or jar, combine olive oil, apple cider vinegar, honey, Dijon mustard, salt, and black pepper. Whisk or shake well until the mixture is emulsified.

Serving the Salad

  1. 4

    Dress the Salad

    Drizzle the vinaigrette over the assembled salad just before serving. Toss gently to coat all ingredients with the dressing.

  2. 5

    Serve

    Serve the salad immediately, garnished with additional pecans if desired.
