I'm not a huge fan of goat cheese, but I loved it in this salad. It added a nice tanginess that balanced out the sweetness of the butternut squash.

This salad is a great way to use up leftover butternut squash. I always have a hard time figuring out what to do with it, but this recipe is a lifesaver.

Overall, I thought this salad was just okay. It wasn't bad, but it didn't wow me either.

The butternut squash was a bit undercooked in my salad. I would recommend roasting it for a few extra minutes to ensure that it's tender.

This salad was a bit too sweet for my taste. I think I would have preferred it with a balsamic vinaigrette instead of the honey mustard dressing.

The dressing for this salad is to die for! I could drink it straight out of the jar. It's the perfect balance of sweet, sour, and savory.

This salad is so versatile! I added some roasted chicken and crumbled bacon to mine, and it was amazing. I can also see it being great with tofu or grilled shrimp.

I've never roasted butternut squash before, but this recipe made it so easy. The squash came out perfectly tender and flavorful. I can't wait to try it in other recipes.

This roasted butternut salad was a hit at my last dinner party! The combination of sweet butternut squash, tangy goat cheese, and crunchy walnuts was divine. I'll definitely be making this again.
