Ingredients
Scale
- 1 small butternut squash, peeled and cubed
- 1 tbsp olive oil
- Salt and pepper, to taste
- 5 oz mixed greens (like kale, spinach, or arugula)
- 1/2 cup pecans, toasted
- 1/4 cup red onion, thinly sliced
- 1/3 cup crumbled goat cheese or feta (optional)
- 1/4 cup olive oil
- 2 tbsp apple cider vinegar
- 1 tbsp maple syrup
- 1 tsp Dijon mustard

Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Toss the cubed butternut squash with 1 tbsp of olive oil, salt, and pepper on a baking sheet. Roast for 20-25 minutes, or until tender and lightly browned. Let it cool slightly.
- While the squash is roasting, make the vinaigrette. In a small jar or bowl, whisk together the 1/4 cup olive oil, apple cider vinegar, maple syrup, Dijon mustard, minced garlic, and a pinch of salt and pepper. Shake or whisk until well combined.
- In a large salad bowl, add your mixed greens. Top with the roasted butternut squash, toasted pecans, and thinly sliced red onion.
- Drizzle the desired amount of maple-dijon vinaigrette over the salad and toss gently to coat everything evenly.
