Instructions

Prepare the roasted butternut squash.

Preheat the oven to 400°F (200C) and line a large baking sheet with parchment paper.

Peel the squash.

Cut in half vertically and use a spoon to scoop out the seeds.

Cut each half into thick slices.

Dice into 1-inch (2.5cm) cubes.

Place the squash cubes into a bowl and toss with a drizzle of olive oil, garlic powder, salt and pepper.

Spread the seasoned squash cubes onto the prepared baking sheet in a single layer.

Roast for 30-40 minutes or until tender and golden brown.

Assemble the salad.

In a medium bowl, whisk together the olive oil, balsamic vinegar, lemon juice, minced garlic, Dijon mustard, honey and salt and pepper.

In a large bowl, add a mix of leafy greens.

Add the roasted butternut squash cubes, the toasted pecans, pomegranate seeds and crumbled feta cheese.

Add the dressing and gently toss together to combine.

Serve immediately.
