Salad Of Warm Butternut Squash Pomegranate And Greens Recipes

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.
• Place the butternut squash on a sheet pan. Add 2 tablespoons olive oil, the maple syrup, 1 teaspoon salt and 1/2 teaspoon pepper and toss. Roast the squash for 15 to 20 minutes, turning once, until tender. Add the cranberries to the pan for the last 5 minutes.
• While the squash is roasting, combine the apple cider, vinegar, and shallots in a small saucepan and bring to a boil over medium-high heat. Cook for 6 to 8 minutes, until the cider is reduced to about 1/4 cup. Off the heat, whisk in the mustard, 1/2 cup olive oil, 1 teaspoon salt, and 1/2 teaspoon of pepper.
• Place the arugula in a large salad bowl and add the roasted squash mixture, the walnuts, and the grated Parmesan. Spoon just enough vinaigrette over the salad to moisten and toss well. Sprinkle with salt and pepper and serve immediately.

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
• Toss butternut squash with olive oil, salt, and pepper. Spread out on the prepared baking sheet.
• Roast in the preheated oven until browned on the edges, stirring halfway through, 20 to 30 minutes. Let cool to room temperature.
• Meanwhile, prepare pumpkin seeds. Heat oil in a small frying pan over medium heat. Add pumpkin seeds, salt, paprika, and cumin. Cook, stirring often, until fragrant, 2 to 3 minutes. Add maple syrup, stir to coat, and remove from heat.
• Combine balsamic vinegar, olive oil, maple syrup, brown sugar, garlic, salt, and pepper in a glass jar with a screw-top lid. Tighten lid and shake vigorously to emulsify dressing.
• Layer mixed greens, persimmons, cooled butternut squash, feta, pomegranate seeds, and pumpkin seeds on a large platter. Drizzle 1 to 2 tablespoons of vinaigrette over salad and serve remainder alongside.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 450°F Toss butternut squash pieces, olive oil, rosemary, and crushed red pepper or pinch cayenne on large baking sheet. Sprinkle with sea salt, to taste. Roast for 10 minutes. Remove squash from oven and flip them around a bit before popping back into the oven for another 10 minutes or so depending on the size and oven they may be done sooner. You are looking for the squash to begin browning and to become nice and tender.
• (The squash can be made up to two hours ahead. Let stand at room temperature. I prefer it warm).
• While the squash is baking whisk the freshly squeezed orange juice, freshly squeezed lemon juice, and extra virgin olive oil together. Season with some sea salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste and set aside.
• When you are ready to assemble the salad, combine the lettuce, pomegranate seeds, and walnuts and lightly toss in the dressing. Spoon warm or room temperature squash over the top of the salad and sprinkle with feta cheese.
• Enjoy!

Steps:

• Slice the squash in half and remove the seeds. Then dice the two halves, place onto a baking tray and drizzle with olive oil, salt and pepper. Bake in a 200°C oven for 15 minutes, until the cubes are soft enough to be pierced with a fork.
• While the squash bakes make the quinoa using 2 cups of boiling water, this should take 15 minutes. After 5 minutes add the broccoli florets and the green beans to the quinoa and allow them to cook together.
• Once the quinoa is no longer crunchy and the squash is perfecty roasted combine them all in a pan, adding the cherry tomatoes and pomegranates at the end.
