]]> A delightfully warm and hearty salad, this Roasted Butternut Squash Salad sweet, caramelized squash with crisp greens, tangy cheese, crunchy nuts, and a bright vinaigrette. It’s a perfect fall or winter dish that works well as a side or a light meal.

Origin of Roasted Butternut Squash Salad

This salad takes inspiration from seasonal autumn flavors, commonly found in Mediterranean and American cuisine. Butternut squash has been a staple in fall cooking, and roasting it enhances its sweet, nutty flavor, making it a great complement to fresh greens and bold dressings.

What I Love About This Recipe

I love how versatile and satisfying this salad is. The roasted butternut squash adds natural sweetness, while the feta (or goat cheese) brings a creamy tang. Tossing it all with toasted nuts and a zesty vinaigrette makes every bite full of texture and flavor. Plus, it’s nutrient-rich, packed with fiber, vitamins, and healthy fats!

Ingredients

  • 1 medium butternut squash, peeled, seeded, and cubed

  • 1 tbsp olive oil

  • ½ tsp salt

  • ½ tsp black pepper

  • ½ tsp cinnamon (optional, for extra warmth)

  • 6 cups mixed greens (arugula, spinach, or kale work well)

  • ½ cup crumbled feta or goat cheese

  • ¼ cup dried cranberries

  • ¼ cup toasted pecans or walnuts

  • ¼ small red onion, thinly sliced

  • 3 tbsp olive oil

  • 1 tbsp apple cider vinegar or balsamic vinegar

  • 1 tsp Dijon mustard

  • 1 tsp honey or maple syrup

  • ½ tsp salt

  • ¼ tsp black pepper

Directions

  • Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C).
  • Roast the squash: Toss cubed butternut squash with olive oil, salt, black pepper, and cinnamon (if using). Spread on a baking sheet and roast for 20-25 minutes, flipping halfway, until golden brown and tender.
  • Prepare the dressing: Whisk together olive oil, vinegar, Dijon mustard, honey, salt, and black pepper in a small bowl.
  • Assemble the salad: In a large bowl, combine mixed greens, roasted butternut squash, red onion, dried cranberries, toasted pecans, and crumbled feta.
  • Drizzle with dressing and toss gently to combine.
  • Serve immediately or refrigerate for up to 2 hours before serving.

Notes

  • Make it vegan: Swap feta for vegan cheese or avocado and use maple syrup instead of honey.

  • Add protein: Try grilled chicken, quinoa, or chickpeas for a heartier meal.
  • Make ahead tip: Roast the butternut squash and prep the dressing a day in advance for quick assembly.

]]> A Southern classic with a twist, this Cornbread Salad is a hearty, flavorful, and colorful layered dish that brings together crumbled cornbread, crisp vegetables, cheese, and a creamy dressing. It’s perfect for potlucks, barbecues, or a comforting family meal.

Origin of Cornbread Salad

Cornbread Salad originates from Southern United States cuisine, where cornbread is a staple. Traditionally, leftover cornbread was repurposed into a layered or tossed salad, combining Southern flavors with a creamy, tangy dressing.

What I Love About This Recipe

This dish is so satisfying and unique—the cornbread soaks up the creamy dressing, blending beautifully with crisp vegetables and savory add-ins like bacon and cheese. It’s also great for feeding a crowd and can be made ahead of time for convenience.

Ingredients

  • 4 cups cornbread, crumbled

  • 1 cup cherry tomatoes, halved

  • 1 cup cucumber, diced

  • 1 cup canned black beans, drained and rinsed

  • 1 cup corn kernels (fresh, canned, or frozen)

  • ½ cup red bell pepper, chopped

  • ½ cup green onions, sliced

  • 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese

  • ½ cup cooked bacon, crumbled (optional)

  • 1 cup mayonnaise

  • ½ cup sour cream

  • 1 tbsp apple cider vinegar

  • 1 tbsp sugar

  • ½ tsp garlic powder

  • ½ tsp salt

  • ½ tsp black pepper

Directions

  • Prepare the cornbread: If using fresh cornbread, bake it beforehand and let it cool completely before crumbling.
  • Mix the dressing: In a bowl, whisk together mayonnaise, sour cream, apple cider vinegar, sugar, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper.
  • Layer the salad: In a large trifle dish or glass bowl, layer half of the cornbread, followed by half of the tomatoes, cucumbers, beans, corn, bell pepper, green onions, cheese, and bacon (if using).
  • Repeat the layers until all ingredients are used.
  • Add the dressing: Spread the dressing evenly over the top of the salad.
  • Chill before serving: Cover and refrigerate for at least 1 hour before serving to allow the flavors to meld.

Notes

  • For a vegetarian version: Skip the bacon or replace it with toasted pecans for crunch.
  • Cornbread texture matters: Use slightly dry cornbread to avoid sogginess.
