Roasted Butternut Squash & Brussels Sprouts Harvest Salad with Maple Cider Vinaigrette is a fabulous Fall salad that could be served as an entree or side! Â
Nut’s are a staple in my house. Â I always keep a variety of nuts on hand. Â I like to add them to meals and snacks for their good fats, fiber, and protein.
Nuts can also add a lovely crunch to recipes, like in this salad recipe. Â It’s got sweet, oven roasted butternut squash & brussels sprouts with chopped apples, pecans, crumbled blue cheese, and salad greens. Â And, it’s drizzled with a sweet & tangy maple cider vinaigrette.
This could be served as a side salad. Â But, it’s certainly filling and impressive enough to be served as an entree.
