Butternut Squash Arugula Salad

September 16, 2019

Butternut squash arugula salad topped with white beans and toasted pecans, then drizzled with maple vinaigrette. This is the perfect fall salad. Spicy arugula is studded with roasted butternut squash, creamy cannellini beans, crunchy pecans and sweet cranberries. This salad can easily be a meal on its own, or a healthy, filling side. Try it with my stuffed acorn squash for a fantastic fall dinner.

The combination of the vegetables and beans with a little sweet and a little crunch makes this a delicious salad any day of the week, but especially if you try to do a meatless meal once in awhile.

Normally, the pears aren’t grilled, but I find that little touch of smokiness from the grill gives the pears great flavor and I’m all about tons of flavor. Why eat something boring when you can eat something super tasty?
Grilled Pear Gorgonzola and Candied Pecan Salad
Grilled Pear Gorgonzola and Candied Pecan Salad is one of our “go-to” weekend lunches.  Sweet, salty, candied pecans are the perfect compliment to sharp gorgonzola.  This salad is perfect anytime of the year, but we find ourselves eating a copious amount of salads when the signs are spring are all around us.
