ROASTED BUTTERNUT SQUASH SALAD WITH WARM CIDER VINAIGRETTE
Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.
- Place the butternut squash on a sheet pan. Add 2 tablespoons olive oil, the maple syrup, 1 teaspoon salt and 1/2 teaspoon pepper and toss. Roast the squash for 15 to 20 minutes, turning once, until tender. Add the cranberries to the pan for the last 5 minutes.
- While the squash is roasting, combine the apple cider, vinegar, and shallots in a small saucepan and bring to a boil over medium-high heat. Cook for 6 to 8 minutes, until the cider is reduced to about 1/4 cup. Off the heat, whisk in the mustard, 1/2 cup olive oil, 1 teaspoon salt, and 1/2 teaspoon of pepper.
- Place the arugula in a large salad bowl and add the roasted squash mixture, the walnuts, and the grated Parmesan. Spoon just enough vinaigrette over the salad to moisten and toss well. Sprinkle with salt and pepper and serve immediately.

Steps:
- Position an oven rack in the center of the oven and preheat to 400°F. Line a rimmed baking sheet with foil and set aside.
- Place the squash in a medium bowl and add 3 tablespoons of the oil, the thyme and 2 teaspoons of salt and season with pepper to taste. Mix until the squash is well coated. Transfer to the prepared baking sheet and spread squash out into a single layer. Roast until a paring knife slides into the squash with no resistance, about 30 minutes, stirring about halfway through the cooking time. Put the pistachios on a small baking sheet and toast until fragrant, about 5 minutes.
- Meanwhile, rinse the quinoa in cold water in a fine-mesh strainer. Bring the broth or water to a boil and stir in the quinoa. Simmer, uncovered, until a small white spiral becomes visible in each grain, about 9 minutes. Drain the quinoa and transfer it to a medium bowl. Add the remaining 2 tablespoons olive oil, the pistachios, cranberries, vinegar, 1/2 teaspoon salt and pepper to taste.
- Place the spinach in a large mixing bowl and toss with the hot squash until slightly wilted. Add the quinoa mixture and toss again. Serve warm or at room temperature.

While the squash is roasting, make the quinoa: Warm 1 tsp oolive oil in a heavy medium saucepan set over medium-high heat. Add the quinoa, stirring with a wooden spoon or spatula until toasted, about 1 to 2 minutes. Add the water or stock, bring to a boil, then reduce the heat and simmer uncovered until the liquid is absorbed and the quinoa is tender, about 15 minutes. (When the quinoa is done, the grains will appear translucent, except for a whitish ring around the middle of each.)3. Remove the quinoa from the heat, fluff with a fork, and transfer to a large bowl. Add the roasted squash and arugula, and toss together. (Don't worry if the heat from the quinoa wilts the arugula.)4.

Garnish the salad with the pomegranate seeds (if using). Serve warm, at room temperature, or chilled. Enjoy!
