Fall Salad Recipe

 

Happy Friday, Friends! If you’re looking for something good to make this weekend, I’ve got a goodie for ya 🥗 It has my favorite lettuce, arugula, roasted butternut squash, goat cheese, pomegranate seeds, pistachios, and a little red onion in a yummy maple lemon vinaigrette.

See below for instructions:

 

Ingredients:
1 bag of arugula
1/4 cup thinly sliced red onion
1 pomegranate
1 cup roasted butternut squash (I put it in an air fryer with a little salt and rosemary
 at 400 for 15 minutes)
1/4 cup pistachios
1/4 cup goat cheese
For the dressing :
1/4 cup olive oil
Juice of one half lemon
Tablespoon of maple syrup
1/8 tsp salt
Fresh ground pepper
Sprinkle of nutmeg
Instructions:
In a bowl mix together 1″ cubbed butternut squash, a drizzle of olive oil, salt, and rosemary. Add your butternut squash into an air-fryer to roast for 15 minutes at 400 degrees. Next you are going to thinly slice ¼ of a red onion and gather the seeds from your pomegranate. I used a trick my friend Ana thought me which is to hit the halved pomegranate with the back of the spoon to get the seeds out (it actually works better than any other method I’ve tried).
To make the dressing you are going to combine ¼ cup of olive oil, the juice of one half lemon, tablespoon of maple syrup, 1/8 tsp salt, fresh ground pepper and a sprinkle of nutmeg.
Once your dressing is done at that is left is to assemble to salad! In a bowl you are going to start with arugula, add your roasted butternut squash, thinly sliced red onion, crumbled goat cheese, pomegranate seeds, pistachios, top with the homemade vinaigrette and enjoy!
