Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 400˚. Cut butternut squash into 1/2″ cubes and onion in to small chunks. Whisk olive oil, salt, and honey together, then toss with butternut squash and onions. Spread butternut squash on a baking tray and roast until tender and beginning to brown, 35-45 minutes.

  3. Place pecans in a small skillet over medium-low heat. Cook, while stirring frequently, until toasted- 5-7 minutes.
  4. Toss together lettuce, toasted pecans, blue cheese, croutons, and butternut squash mixture. Serve with a drizzle of olive oil and good balsamic vinegar.
