Ingredients
  

  • a few cups mixed baby salad greens
  • 1 medium fall squash - delicata, acorn, pumpkin, etc.
  • 1 ripe pear, diced
  • olive oil, for roasting the squash
  • pine nuts
  • sesame seeds
  • salt, pepper

dressing

  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 tablespoon toasted sesame oil
  • 2 teaspoons yuzu juice (or lemon/lime juice & some zest)
  • 1 teaspoon miso paste

Instructions
 

  • Preheat oven to 400 degrees.
  • Toss sliced squash with olive oil, salt & pepper.
  • Roast until the edges are browned and the flesh is tender. (Timing will depend on the type and thickness of your squash).
  • Let it cool slightly when it's done.
  • Whisk together dressing ingredients. (Or better yet, shake them together in a small jar with a tight lid, so the miso doesn't get all stuck in your whisk).
  • Taste & adjust.
  • Toss all salad ingredients with the dressing and roasted squash.
