Perfect fall salad with roasted butternut squash and pomegranate seeds. A must-try during the holiday season to impress your guests at the table. This butternut squash salad is easy, and full of flavour and colour. It's light, crunch, sweet, tangy and refreshing. Accompanied with a homemade honey mustard dressing.

Ingredients 

  • 1/2 butternut squash 1.23 lb | 560 grams
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1/2 teaspoon sea salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground black pepper
  • 6 cups green of choice 15.87 oz | 450 g
  • 1 cup pomegranate seeds 8.35 oz | 237 g
  • 1/3 cup crumbled feta cheese 1-2 oz | 50 g
  • 1/4 cup pumpkin seeds 1.05 oz | 30 g

Honey Mustard Dressing

  • ¼ cup extra virgin olive oil 2.02 fl.oz | 60 ml
  • 1 tablespoons honey
  • Juice of 1 lemon
  • 2 tablespoons Dijon mustard
  • 1 teaspoon fresh chopped parsley
  • A pinch of sea salt
  • A pinch of black pepper

Instructions

  • Preheat the oven to 200 C | 392 F.
  • Peel and cut butternut squash into cubes. Transfer onto a flat baking tray. Season with oil, salt and pepper and toss through. Roast for 20-25 minutes. Remove and allow to cool down slightly. I like it warm in the salad but you can have it completely cooled.
  • In a large salad bowl, add the leafy greens, pomegranate seeds, feta cheese, pumpkin seeds and roasted butternut squash.
  • Combine honey mustard dressing ingredients in a small bowl then pour on the salad. Toss all together. If making ahead of time, leave the dressing out until serving time.
