Salad Base

Roasted Shallot Vinaigrette

Optional Grilled Chicken

Method

Prepare the Salad

  1. 1

    Roast the Squash

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

  2. 2

    Cook the Bacon

    In a skillet over medium heat, cook the double-smoked bacon until crispy. Remove and drain on paper towels. Crumble into pieces once cooled.

  3. 3

    Prepare the Eggs

    Bring a pot of water to a boil. Gently add the eggs and boil for 6-7 minutes. Remove and place in an ice bath. Peel when cool.

  4. 4

    Mix the Greens

    In a large salad bowl, combine tender greens, baby kale, roasted squash, pickled beets, herbed feta, crumbled bacon, red cabbage, and pecan-pumpkin-seed salad topper.

Make the Vinaigrette

  1. 5

    Roast the Shallots

    Wrap the shallots in foil and roast in the oven for 20 minutes until soft. Let cool and then chop.

  2. 6

    Combine Vinaigrette Ingredients

    In a jar, combine chopped shallots, olive oil, apple cider vinegar, Dijon mustard, honey, salt, and black pepper. Shake well to combine.

Optional Chicken

  1. 7

    Grill the Chicken

    If using grilled chicken, season the chicken breast with olive oil, salt, and pepper. Grill over medium heat for 6-7 minutes per side until fully cooked. Slice and add to the salad.

Assembly

  1. 8

    Dress the Salad

    Drizzle the roasted shallot vinaigrette over the salad and toss gently to combine. Top with the not-quite-hardboiled eggs.
