Step-by-Step Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Peel and cube the butternut squash into bite-sized pieces, then toss them in a bowl with a splash of olive oil, salt, and pepper until evenly coated. Spread the seasoned squash on a baking sheet in a single layer and roast for 25 minutes, or until it's tender and starting to caramelize.
- While the butternut squash is roasting, whisk together ¼ cup of olive oil with 2 tablespoons of apple cider vinegar, 1 teaspoon of Dijon mustard, and 1 tablespoon of honey in a small bowl. Season your vinaigrette with salt and black pepper to taste. Whisk until well combined.
- Once the butternut squash has cooled slightly, assemble your salad by combining a handful of mixed salad greens with the thinly sliced Honeycrisp apples, roasted butternut squash, crumbled feta cheese, dried cranberries, and chopped pecans in a large salad bowl.
- Just before serving, drizzle the prepared vinaigrette over the salad and toss gently to combine.

Notes
Select fresh, crisp Honeycrisp apples for the best texture. Allow roasted butternut squash to cool slightly before mixing to keep the greens fresh. Toast nuts for better flavor and dress just before serving to prevent wilting.
