Fabulous Fall Salad

Fabulous Fall Salad

Hearty fall flavors in a light salad.

Ingredients

Salad
1 medium butternut squash peeled and cut into 1 inch cubes
1 large onion sliced thin
¼ teaspoon red pepper flakes
pinch garam masala
salt and pepper
1 bag mixed greens
1 cooked chicken breast shredded (optional)
½- 1 cup good nutty/salty cheese (I adore Beecher's , Flagship cheese. I mean serious problems with how much I like this)
Dressing
¼ cup pumpkin butter (again I use Trader Joes because I love it so much. I eat it straight out of the jar)
¼ cup Tahini sauce
juice of 1 lemon
salt and pepper
2 Tablespoons water to thin it out

Directions

Saute the squash in pan over medium heat in about 2 Tablespoons of olive oil. Add pepper flakes, garam masala, salt and pepper. After 4 minutes add onion and saute on medium low heat for about 15 minutes until the squash is soft and the onions are browning. Toss together the greens, chicken, cheese and squash. Drizzle with desired amount of dressing and dig in. This is a nice filling salad with or without the meat.
