This roasted butternut squash salad with apples is a delightful combination of sweet and savory flavors. The tender, caramelized squash pairs perfectly with the crisp apples, and the hint of cinnamon adds warmth to the dish. The raisins provide a touch of natural sweetness, making this salad a true treat for your taste buds.
Ingredients: 1 butternut squash, peeled, seeded, and cubed. 2 apples, cored and thinly sliced. 1 tablespoon olive oil. 1 teaspoon cinnamon. 1/2 cup raisins. Salt and pepper to taste. Mixed greens for the salad base. Balsamic vinaigrette dressing.
Instructions: Preheat your oven to 400F 200C. In a large mixing bowl, combine the butternut squash cubes, olive oil, cinnamon, salt, and pepper. Toss to coat the squash evenly. Spread the seasoned squash cubes out on a baking sheet in a single layer. Roast the squash in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes or until it's tender and slightly caramelized, flipping the cubes once halfway through. While the squash is roasting, prepare the salad base. Arrange mixed greens on serving plates. Once the roasted squash has cooled slightly, add it to the salad plates on top of the greens. Next, scatter the sliced apples and raisins over the roasted squash. Drizzle balsamic vinaigrette dressing over the salad. Serve the roasted butternut squash salad with apples immediately. Enjoy!
