Ingredients
For the Salad
- 2 medium delicata squash around 1 and ¼ pounds total
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- kosher sea salt and freshly cracked black pepper
- 4 heaping cups baby arugula
- 1 cup pomegranate arils
- ⅓ cup dried cranberries
- ⅓ cup raw pistachios
- ¼ red onion thinly sliced
- 3 to 4 ounces feta cheese crumbled
For the Balsamic
- 4 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 tablespoon balsamic vinegar
- ½ teaspoon honey
- Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F. Slice the squash into ½-inch wide rounds and then cute each round in half. Use a spoon to scoop out the seeds from each round. Drizzle the squash with a generous tablespoon of olive oil and a sprinkle of sea salt. Toss to combine. Roast for about 30 minutes or until the squash is tender and golden, flipping halfway.
- In a medium skillet over medium-low heat, toast the pistachios, stirring frequently, until they are fragrant and lightly golden on the edges. Remove from heat.
- In a small bowl, whisk together the olive oil, balsamic vinegar, honey with a pinch of salt and pepper.
- Once the squash has had a few minutes to cool, combine the arugula, pomegranate, dried fruit, toasted nuts, sliced red onion, crumbled feta and squash in a serving bowl. Toss with enough dressing to lightly coat the leaves. Serve immediately.

Notes
- You can also roast acorn squash this same way if you can't get your hands on delicata.
