Roasted Butternut Squash Salad With Maple Vinaigrette
this roasted butternut squash salad with maple vinaigrette basically appeared out of nowhere. I saw the butternut squash, the lettuce, and pomegranate and had one of my finest eureka moments to date. BUTTERNUT SQUASH SALAD!
Heat olive oil on medium heat in a small frying pan and add one cup of peeled and cubed butternut squash. Mix in the nutmeg and garlic, and let cook for about 10 minutes, or until soft. Set aside and let cool for a couple of minutes.
While butternut squash cools, assemble the greens, pomegranate seeds and sunflower seeds. Mix together the olive oil, maple syrup, and balsamic vinegar in a small bowl. Add in the butternut squash to the salad, and drizzle 1 tablespoon of the maple vinaigrette. Enjoy!
