How to make Butternut Squash Salad
Put a sizable baking sheet in the oven and preheat it to 425°F.
On the baking sheet, arrange the cubes of butternut squash. Drizzle with olive oil and season with sea salt and pepper.
Spread evenly on the baking sheet after tossing to coat.
Roast for 30 to 35 minutes, or until the vegetables are soft and the edges are browned.
Combine the cumin, coriander, cinnamon, and cayenne in a small bowl. Place aside.
To make the cider date dressing, blend the olive oil, vinegar, lemon juice, date, garlic, cumin, salt, and 3 tablespoons of water in a food processor.
As additional water is required to blend, add 1 to 2 tablespoons.
Remove the butternut squash from the oven, allow it to cool slightly, then combine it with the spice mixture while it is still warm.
With the spring mix greens and half of the roasted squash, assemble the salad.
Add the remaining squash, goat cheese, dates, pomegranates, and pistachios after lightly tossing and drizzling with ⅓ of the dressing.
As desired, drizzle on the extra dressing. Serve right away.
