The Perfect Fall Salad Recipe

The Perfect Fall Salad Recipe

Posted by liz joy on

 

If you’re looking for a fresh and delicious fall recipe to try this weekend, I’ve got just the thing! This fall-inspired salad combines my favorite seasonal ingredients like arugula, roasted butternut squash, goat cheese, pomegranate seeds, pistachios, and a hint of red onion, all tossed in a tangy maple lemon vinaigrette. It’s a perfect balance of flavors that will leave you coming back for more.
This salad not only tastes amazing but also looks beautiful with its vibrant fall colors. Whether you’re hosting friends or just want a healthy meal for yourself, this is the perfect dish to add to your fall recipe collection. Plus, it’s easy to prepare and full of nutrients, making it both delicious and wholesome.
Ingredients:
1 bag of arugula
1/4 cup thinly sliced red onion
1 pomegranate
1 cup roasted butternut squash (I put it in an air fryer with a little salt and rosemary
at 400 for 15 minutes)
1/4 cup pistachios
1/4 cup goat cheese
 
For the dressing :
1/4 cup olive oil
Juice of one half lemon
Tablespoon of maple syrup
1/8 tsp salt
Fresh ground pepper
Sprinkle of nutmeg
  
Instructions:
 In a bowl mix together 1″ cubbed butternut squash, a drizzle of olive oil, salt, and rosemary. Add your butternut squash into an air-fryer to roast for 15 minutes at 400 degrees. Next you are going to thinly slice ¼ of a red onion and gather the seeds from your pomegranate. I used a trick my friend Ana thought me which is to hit the halved pomegranate with the back of the spoon to get the seeds out (it actually works better than any other method I’ve tried).
 
To make the dressing you are going to combine ¼ cup of olive oil, the juice of one half lemon, tablespoon of maple syrup, 1/8 tsp salt, fresh ground pepper and a sprinkle of nutmeg.
 
Once your dressing is done at that is left is to assemble to salad! In a bowl you are going to start with arugula, add your roasted butternut squash, thinly sliced red onion, crumbled goat cheese, pomegranate seeds, pistachios, top with the homemade vinaigrette and enjoy!
