Ingredients

For the salad

  • 1 medium cauliflower head cut into florets
  • 1 small butternut squash peeled and cut in cubes
  • 1 tbsp olive oil
  • salt and black pepper
  • ¼ cup red onion chopped
  • 1 tablespoon green onions chopped

 For dressing

Instructions

  • First, steam the head of cauliflower. In a large pot add about 2 cups of water and place a steamer basket in the bottom.
  • Bring the water to a boil. Add the cauliflower florets into the steamer basket.
  • Cover the pot and steam until the cauliflower florets are tender 6-8 minutes. The time will depend on how tender you prefer your cauliflower florets to be.
  • Remove from the heat and also remove the lid from the pot. Let the cauliflower cool down for 5 minutes.
  • While the cauliflower florets are been steamed, roast the butternut squash. Preheat oven to 400 degrees. On a baking sheet lined with parchment paper or silicone mat, place butternut squash and toss in olive oil and season with salt and black pepper. Mix well to combine.
  • Roast in the oven for 15-20 minutes (It'll depend on the size of the butternut squash diced).
  • Place the steamed cauliflower, the roasted butternut squash and the red onions in a bowl.
  • In a small glass bowl, add all the ingredients for the dressing and whisk everything together to combine.
  • Taste to check the seasoning and pour over the salad.
  • Mix all the ingredients together until well combined and garnish it with green onions.

Notes

  • If you have trouble cutting the butternut squash, you can microwave it for a few minutes to help soften it.
  • You can buy pre-cut butternut squash and cauliflower.
  • You can soak the red onions in cold water to mellow it out before adding it to the salad.
  • To store: Keep this recipe refrigerated for up to 4 days. When serving, do not leave it out at room temperature for too long.
