Fall Harvest Salad With Roasted Butternut Squash


My favourite part of this recipe is the roasted butternut squash!! It gets a caramelized taste after baked and is so yummy - don’t skip it!! Optional but I also recommend roasting your pecans for about 5-10 min in the oven (350°)! P.S. the dressing makes a little extra to save in the fridge for another salad!
