Ingredients

Salad
  • 3 cups cubed butternut squash
  • 2 tablespoons avocado oil
  • salt and pepper to taste
  • 1/2 lb. Bacon
  • 8 oz mixed greens
  • 1/3 cup feta cheese
  • 1/3 cup toasted pecans
  • 1/3 cup dried cranberries
Dressing
  • 1/4 cup avocado oil
  • 2 tablespoons apple cider vinegar
  • 2 tablespoon honey
  • 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
  • 2 teaspoons lemon juice
  • 1 clove garlic finely minced
  • salt and pepper to taste

Instructions

    Cup of Yum
  1. Preheat the oven to 400ºF.
  2. Place the butternut squash on a large baking sheet. Drizzle with the 2 tablespoons of avocado oil, then season with salt and pepper. Stir to coat. Place in the hot oven and roast until the squash is tender and golden brown, about 45 minutes, stirring several times during baking time.
  3. While the squash is roasting, make the dressing by combining the 1/4 cup of avocado oil, apple cider vinegar, honey, lemon juice, mustard, and garlic in a small jar. Screw the lid on tight, then shake to combine. Taste and season with salt and pepper, if needed. Refrigerate until the dressing is needed.
  4. Cut the bacon into pieces, and cook in a skillet over medium-high heat until crispy. Remove to a paper towel lined plate.
  5. To assemble the salad, place the greens in a large bowl. Top with the bacon, feta cheese, pecans, cranberries, and roasted butternut squash.
  6. Drizzle the dressing over the top of the salad, or serve at the table so each person can add dressing to their portion.
