Hi friends!

Allow me to present this Roasted Squash Fall Salad to inspired your weekend food prep! I’ve been eating this salad on repeat around here because it’s just so dang good. I think I’ve mentioned before that I’m not a huge fan of lettuce based salads. More likely I’ll take a little salad and then gimme ALL the toppings! They’re the best part…am I right? 

That being said, you can serve this salad with pretty much any combo of greens you like. Regular leaf lettuce works. Massaged kale would be great. Spinach would also work. Or any combo of the above.

As with most of my salad recipes, you don’t really need exact quantities here. I’m just sharing the ingredients because I think it’s a great combo of flavors.

I’m calling this a Roasted Squash Fall Salad but you can see I use both squash and sweet potatoes. I like the combo but you could use one or the other. And choose your favorite squash here. I love delicata but you could also use butternut squash or any of the other many varieties that are in season right now. 

Similarly, pecans scream fall to me, but if you’re not a fan you could use walnuts or almonds, or toss on some pepitas! I added farro because I like my salads with a grain component. You could skip that if you wanted. And I kept it vegetarian with just hard-boiled eggs but you could easily add some grilled chicken or salmon. Both would be delicious with the honey mustard dressing that I highly suggest you use!

Here’s the rundown of ingredients!

  • Sub your favorite kind of squash or use all sweet potato if desired

  • I roast my squash by slicing, spraying with oil, adding spices if desired and roasting at 400 for 25 minutes or so, flipping halfway through
