1/4 cup butternut squash cubes, cooked
2 cups arugula
1 ounce goat cheese, crumbled
1 teaspoon pine nuts
1/4 teaspoon (or to taste) cracked black pepper

Steps:

Cook bacon in a skillet over medium-high heat until some of the fat renders into the pan, 2 to 3 minutes. Add mushrooms. Cook and stir together until the mushrooms are tender, about 5 minutes.
Stir squash cubes into the bacon mixture. Continue cooking until the squash is hot and the bacon crisp, 3 to 5 minutes more.
Put arugula in a bowl. Top with bacon, mushroom, and squash mixture. Sprinkle goat cheese over the salad and top with pine nuts. Sprinkle with cracked black pepper.
