step 1
Preheat oven to 300 degrees F (150 degrees C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
step 2
In a medium bowl, whisk Egg (1) white. Add Pecan Halves (300 g) and toss to coat. Add Brown Sugar (4 Tbsp), Cane Sugar (4 Tbsp), Ground Cinnamon (1 tsp), Pink Himalayan Sea Salt (1/2 tsp), and Vanilla Extract (1/2 tsp), and toss until evenly coated.
step 3
Transfer nuts to sheet pan in an even layer and bake for 20 minutes, stir, and bake for another 20 minutes. Remove from oven and let cool completely before breaking into pieces. (We used about 1 cup of candied pecans in the salad. Save the remaining cup for snacking!)
step 4
Preheat oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C). Toss Butternut Squash (420 g) with Olive Oil (to taste), Sea Salt (to taste), and Ground Black Pepper (to taste) to taste. Transfer to a sheet pan and roast for 25 to 35 minutes, until fork tender and lightly browned. Let cool.
step 5
Meanwhile, make the dressing: In a small bowl, add Olive Oil (4 Tbsp), Dijon Mustard (2 Tbsp), Lemon Juice (2 Tbsp), Vanilla Extract (1 tsp), Honey (1 Tbsp), Garlic Powder (1/2 tsp), Ground Black Pepper (1/4 tsp), Sea Salt (1/2 tsp), and whisk to combine.
step 6
Into a large bowl or serving platter, add Salad Greens (455 g). Top with roasted butternut squash, Honeycrisp Apples (2), Pomegranate Seeds (65 g), Crumbled Feta Cheese (150 g), and 1 cup candied pecans. Toss together with the dressing, and serve.
