Notes
- Pumpkin: You can use either pumpkin or butternut squash for this salad.
- Do not over roast: When roasting pumpkin, you want to make sure that you don't roast for too long, as the pumpkin can become mushy and won't hold well in the salad.
- Variation: We also love this salad topped with pomegranate seeds, in place of cranberries. You will love the pop of color too.
