Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F. Line a baking sheet with aluminum foil.
- Trim the top and bottom of the squash. Cut the squash in half lengthwise, then scoop the seeds out with a large spoon. Place the halves, cut-side down, on the prepared baking sheet. Rub the squash on all sides with 1 tablespoon of the olive oil. Roast until fork-tender, about 50 minutes. Let cool.
- Use a small spoon to scoop 1/2- to 1-inch pieces of flesh (leaving skin behind) from the neck portion of one of the squash halves. You should have about 2 cups of squash. Place in a bowl and set aside. Reserve the remaining squash for another use.
- Whisk together the maple syrup, vinegar, mustard, 3/4 teaspoon salt and a few grinds pepper in a medium bowl. Slowly drizzle in the remaining 3 tablespoons olive oil until fully combined and emulsified.
- Toss the salad greens, pecans, cranberries and squash in a large bowl. Season with a pinch of salt and toss. Drizzle with the dressing and toss to coat.
- Divide the salad between 2 shallow bowls and sprinkle each with half the goat cheese (about 1 tablespoon).
