- Bake for 20-28 minutes or until the butternut squash is soft and golden brown on the edges.
- While the vegetables and fruits are baking, make your sweet and spicy cinnamon nuts in a large pan.
- Make your maple pumpkin dressing by blending all of the ingredients together in a blender until smooth and creamy. Set aside.
- Once all of your ingredients are ready, build the salad starting from one side of the bowl to the other. First, create a line of roasted squash, then chickpeas, roasted onion, pear slices, cinnamon nuts, roasted apples, and pumpkin seeds/pepitas.
- Finish the salad with fresh pomegranate seeds, Follow Your Heart Dairy-Free Feta Crumbles, and a little bit of minced parsley sprinkled all over the top.
