Ingredients
Salad
- 4-5 ounces Spring Mix or Mixed Greens
- ⅓ cup candied pecans or toasted pecans
- ½ large chopped apple I used honey crisp
- ½ cup crumbled Feta cheese
- ½ cup pomegranate arils
Roasted Butternut Squash
- 3 cups peeled and cubed butternut squash
- 1 Tablespoon avocado oil or olive oil
- ½ teaspoon sea salt
- Pinch of pepper
White Balsamic Vinaigrette
- ½ cup extra-virgin olive oil
- ¼ cup white balsamic vinegar
- ½ Tablespoon honey or maple syrup plus more to taste
- 1 clove fresh garlic minced or ¼ teaspoon garlic powder
- ½ teaspoon sea salt
- ¼ teaspoon ground black pepper
Instructions
- Heat oven to 400°F. Toss butternut squash with olive oil, salt and pepper. Roast for 20-30 minutes, until tender. Remove from the oven and let cool.
- Whisk together all dressing ingredients in a glass bowl or jar until combined. Another option is to add all ingredients into a mason jar and shake to combine.
- Add greens to a large salad bowl and top with roasted butternut squash, apple chunks, pecans, pomegranate arils and feta cheese.
- Drizzle on dressing and toss to combine. Alternatively, you can plate the salad and drizzle each serving with dressing before serving. Enjoy!
Notes
- VIOLIFE Just Like Feta
- Dairy-free/vegan: If you need this salad to be dairy-free or vegan swap the feta cheese with a dairy-free cheese option like this VIOLIFE Just Like Feta.
- Nut-free: If you're nut-free, then swap the pecans with roasted pumpkin seeds or sunflower seeds instead.
- Storage: Once assembled, this salad is best enjoyed right away, but leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the fridge for 2-3 days. If you’re planning for leftovers, dress individual servings and store extra dressing separately to keep the salad fresh.
