Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C).
- In a large bowl, toss the delicata squash and Brussels sprouts with 1½ tablespoons olive oil and 2 tablespoons Salad Supreme seasoning until well coated.
- On a rimmed baking sheet, drizzle the chicken breasts on both sides with the remaining 1½ tablespoons olive oil and season all over with the remaining 2 tablespoons Salad Supreme seasoning.

- Chop the chicken into 1-inch (2.54 cm) pieces, then add to a large bowl with the roasted vegetables, lettuce, kale, apple, pumpkin seeds, and candied pecans. Drizzle with some of the dressing and toss well.

Tips for Making the Best Salad Seasoning:
- Use fresh herbs and spices: Fresh herbs and spices add a burst of flavor to your salad seasoning. If you don't have fresh herbs on hand, you can use dried herbs, but be sure to use less since they are more concentrated.
- Experiment with different flavors: There are endless possibilities when it comes to creating your own salad seasoning. Try different combinations of herbs, spices, and other ingredients until you find a blend that you love.
- Use a good quality oil: The oil you use in your salad dressing is important. Choose a high-quality oil that has a good flavor, such as olive oil, avocado oil, or walnut oil.
- Use a good balance of flavors: When creating your salad seasoning, be sure to use a good balance of flavors. You want the seasoning to be flavorful, but not overpowering.
- Store your salad seasoning properly: Once you've created your salad seasoning, store it in an airtight container in a cool, dark place. This will help to preserve the flavor of the seasoning.

Making your own salad seasoning is a great way to add flavor to your salads and other dishes. With a little creativity, you can create a seasoning that is perfect for your taste. So next time you're making a salad, try using one of the recipes from this article or experiment with your own blend of herbs and spices. You'll be surprised at how much better your salads taste!
