Fall Salad with a Sweet & Spicy Oil-Free Dressing

Fall Salad with a Sweet & Spicy  Oil-Free Dressing recipe

It's finally feeling like fall out there.  We've been eating a lot of squash at our house as of late. It's a real fall like veggie (or is it a fruit? it has seeds so I think it's a fruit).  As you know I usually just roast up some squash to keep on hand like I did in this post last week.  This time I incorporated butternut squash into a hearty salad with a sweet & spicy oil-free dressing that I will definitely be making again.
Ingredients:
  • 2 tablespoons pumpkin seeds
  • 2 tablespoons feta, crumbled
  • 3 tablespoons cherry tomatoes, halved
  • 1/2 avocado, sliced
  • 1/3 cup chickpeas, rinsed
  • 1/3 cup butternut squash, roasted & cubed (get recipe here)
  • 2-3 cups mixed baby field greens
Oil-Free Dressing
  • 1 lime, juice & zest
  • 1 tablespoon agave (or honey)
  • 1 tablespoon sriracha (plus extra for drizzling)
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
Make it!
  1. Whisk all dressing ingredients together in a large serving bowl.
  2. Toss pumpkin seeds, feta, tomatoes, chickpeas & butternut squash with the dressing.
  3. Just  before serving toss dressed toppings with the greens & top with sliced avocado.
  4. Drizzle with extra sriracha for an additional kick!
