]]> 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 bold and flavorful soup that combines the natural sweetness of butternut squash with the smoky heat of harissa. This creamy, spiced soup is perfect for chilly evenings and adds a vibrant twist to classic butternut squash soup.

Origin of Harissa Butternut Squash Soup

Harissa, a North African chili paste, has been a staple in Tunisian, Moroccan, and Algerian cuisine for centuries. It’s known for its deep, smoky, and slightly spicy flavor. Combining it with butternut squash—a commonly used ingredient in Middle Eastern and Mediterranean cooking—creates a fusion of flavors that’s both comforting and exciting.

What I Love About This Recipe

I love how this soup balances sweetness and heat perfectly. The velvety texture of butternut squash pairs beautifully with the smoky spice of harissa, creating a warming dish with layers of flavor. Plus, it’s easy to make and packed with nutrients!
