Yield 4

Number Of Ingredients 20

1 acorn squash - peeled, seeded, and cut into 1-inch cubes
2 tablespoons olive oil
½ teaspoon ground cinnamon
½ teaspoon onion powder
½ teaspoon ground cumin
½ teaspoon salt
¼ teaspoon ground black pepper
3 tablespoons apple cider vinegar
2 tablespoons maple syrup
1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
1 teaspoon grated orange zest
1 teaspoon garam masala
1 clove garlic, minced
½ teaspoon salt
½ teaspoon ground black pepper
½ cup olive oil
1 (5 ounce) package baby arugula
¼ cup dried cranberries
¼ cup chopped pistachios
2 ounces crumbled chevre (goat cheese)

Steps:

  • Position a rack into the center position of the oven and preheat oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C). Line a baking sheet or jelly roll pan with parchment paper.
  • Spread acorn squash cubes onto prepared baking sheet and toss with 2 tablespoons olive oil. Mix cinnamon, onion powder, cumin, 1/2 teaspoon salt, and 1/4 teaspoon black pepper in a small bowl; sprinkle spice mixture over squash cubes.
  • Bake on the center rack of preheated oven until squash are tender, 15 to 20 minutes. Remove from oven and allow to cool completely.
  • Whisk apple cider vinegar, maple syrup, Dijon mustard, orange zest, garam masala, garlic, 1/2 teaspoon salt, and 1/2 teaspoon black pepper in a bowl until thoroughly combined; slowly drizzle olive oil into vinegar mixture, whisking constantly, until olive oil incorporates into the dressing. Refrigerate while completing remaining steps.
  • Toss cooked acorn squash cubes, baby arugula, cranberries, pistachios, and goat cheese in a salad bowl; drizzle with dressing and serve.

The dressing is a little too sweet for my taste. I would use less honey next time.

I'm not a big fan of arugula, so I used spinach instead. It was still very good.

This roasted acorn squash salad was a delicious and healthy side dish. The squash was roasted perfectly and had a slightly sweet and nutty flavor. The salad was also very colorful with the addition of the arugula, pomegranate seeds, and pumpkin seeds
