Arugula Salad with Bacon and Butternut Squash image

This is just a quick salad I came up with from leftovers and loved! I liked the way the arugula paired with the bacon and squash. Add a baguette or a bagel, and it's a great lunch all on it's own! Dress with balsamic vinaigrette or simply oil and vinegar. Feta cheese can be used for the goat cheese, if you prefer.

I love the combination of flavors in this salad. The arugula is peppery, the bacon is salty, the butternut squash is sweet, and the goat cheese is tangy.

This salad is a great way to use up leftover butternut squash. It's also a healthy and delicious meal.

I'm not sure what went wrong, but my salad didn't turn out very well. The butternut squash was too hard and the bacon was too greasy.

I thought this salad was just okay. The dressing was a little too sweet for my taste.
