Fall Harvest Salad

This fall harvest salad is packed with nourishing, wholesome, and seasonal ingredients. From roasted butternut squash to tart goji berries, it's satisfying and delicious.

Ingredients

Salad Base

  • 4 cups spinach
  • 1 cup cubed roasted butternut squash, warmed
  • 1 cup chopped chicken breast, warmed
  • 3/4 cup croutons (I used Outside the Breadbox)
  • 1/2 apple chopped (any variety will do)
  • 2 tablespoons chopped walnuts, toasted
  • 1 tablespoon crumbled goat cheese
  • 1 tablespoon hemp seeds
  • 1 tablespoon goji berries

Salad Dressing

  • 3 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
  • 2 teaspoons white wine vinegar
  • 1 teaspoon honey mustard
  • 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
  • salt and pepper to taste

Instructions

  • Assemble all ingredients, including preparing the chicken breast and butternut squash, chopping the apple and walnuts, etc.
  • In a small sauce pan, toast chopped walnuts on low-to-medium heat (until fragrant; 2-3 minutes). Stir frequently to prevent burning.
  • In a small bowl, combine all salad dressing ingredients. Whisk vigorously to combine. Set aside.
  • In a large salad bowl, combine all salad ingredients, starting with the spinach. Layer on the roasted butternut squash, chopped chicken, etc.
  • Pour dressing on top of salad, mix to combine, and enjoy.

Notes

This portion makes one large, entree-size salad or can be divvied up into a few smaller portions. Feel free to make a triple or quadruple amount of dressing as it will last for up to two weeks in the fridge.
