Instructions

For the Roasted Butternut Squash

  • Preheat the oven to 425°F degrees. Line the baking sheet(s) with parchment paper. Place the diced butternut squash into a mixing bowl. Toss with the pepper, salt, and oil. Spread out the vegetables in a single layer on the baking sheets, careful not to crowd the baking sheet. Roast until fork-tender and golden brown, about 25 minutes.

For the Maple Cider Vinaigrette

  • Combine the maple syrup, apple juice, dressing, and rosemary in a blender. Blend on medium speed until smooth. Hold cold until ready to serve.

To assemble each Salad

  • In a large bowl, arrange 1-1/2 cups of spring mix into the bottom of a bowl, top with 1/2 cup of roasted butternut squash, 1 Tbsp of roasted pumpkin seeds, 1 Tbsp dried cranberries, and 1 Tbsp feta cheese crumbles.
  • Serve with 2 oz. maple cider vinaigrette.
