Vegan Roasted Delicata Squash Apple and Pear Salad

Ingredients needed:

1 Delicata squash (cut into 1/4 inch rings with the seeds removed. The skin is edible so you don’t have to peel the squash.)

3 tbsp olive oil

2 cups mixed salad greens

1 honey crisp apple, diced

1 Barlett pear, sliced

1/4 cup pepitas

5 sage leaves, chopped

For the Dressing:

2 tbsp olive oil

1 tsp apple cider vinegar

1 tsp minced garlic

1 tbsp maple syrup

1 tsp Dijon mustard

Salt and pepper to taste

Directions:

Cut the ends off the squash. The skin is edible so there is no need to peel.

Cut the squash into 1/2 inch rings and cut the seeds out. Preheat the oven to 400 degrees Fahrenheit. Arrange the squash on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Drizzle with olive oil and season with salt and pepper. Bake the squash for 18-20 minutes or until tender.

Toss the salad greens, diced apple, pear slices, pipits, and sage leaves together. Add the roasted Delicata slices.

In a small bowl, whisk together the olive oil, apple cider vinegar, maple syrup, minced garlic, Dijon mustard and salt and pepper. Dress the salad and enjoy!
