Fall Harvest Breakfast Salad

This salad blends roasted butternut squash lightly spiced with cinnamon and sea salt with crisp apple slices, creamy avocado, red onion, toasted walnuts, and hemp seeds atop fresh leafy greens. A cooked egg crowned on each serving adds protein and richness, while a drizzle of avocado balsamic dressing ties the flavors together. The roasted squash adds a sweet, tender warmth that contrasts with fresh crunchy elements and smooth avocado, making it a balanced and satisfying breakfast option.
