Festive Holiday Salad with Pomegranate and Feta

Prep Time 20 minutes
Cook Time 45 minutes
Course Salad
Servings 6

Equipment

  • 1 Propane Oven

Ingredients
  

  • 6 cups arugula
  • 2 cups butternut squash, peeled and cubed
  • 2 medium beets
  • 1/2 cup pomegranate seeds
  • 1/4 cup feta cheese
  • 5 tbsp olive oil
  • 2 tbsp balsamic vinegar
  • 1/2 tsp Dijon mustard
  • 1 tsp honey or maple syrup
  • salt and pepper to taste

Instructions
 

  • Preheat the propane oven to 400°F.
  • First, wash the beets thoroughly, trim off the tops and roots, and wrap each beet tightly in aluminum foil. Place them on a separate baking sheet.
  • Next, mix cubed butternut squash with 1 tbsp olive oil and salt and pepper (to taste). Spread in a single layer on a parchment-lined baking sheet.
  • Roast both the squash and beets in the oven simultaneously:
    • The squash will take 20–25 minutes or until tender and caramelized.
    • The beets will take about 45 minutes or until a knife easily pierces through.
  • While the squash and beets are cooking in the oven, begin making the dressing. Using a small bowl or jar, whisk together 3 tbsp olive oil, 2 tbsp balsamic vinegar, 1 tsp honey or maple syrup, 1/2 tsp Dijon mustard, and salt and pepper (to taste) until emulsified.
  • Let the beets cool slightly, then rub off the skins with a paper towel. Dice into bite-sized pieces.
  • Arrange arugula on a large serving platter or in a bowl, topped with roasted butternut squash, diced beets, pomegranate seeds, and feta cheese.
  • Drizzle the balsamic vinaigrette over the salad just before serving.
  • Enjoy!
