Ingredients

4 servings

1 delicata squash (cut in half lengthwise, seeds removed, then cut into half rings)
2 teaspoons za’atar
1 tablespoon avocado oil (or other neutral oil)
1/2 teaspoon sea salt
6 cups mixed greens
1/4 cup pickled red onion
1/4 cup sliced almonds
1/4 cup feta cheese (crumbled)
1/4 cup pomegranate seeds
1/4 cup dried apricots
1/4 cup extra virgin olive oil
1 tablespoon dijon mustard
1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar
2 tablespoons parsley (and chives and dill)
2 cloves garlic (minced)
salt and pepper to taste

Method

1
Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F. Use two non-stick baking sheets or spray with cooking oil.
2
Slice each squash lengthwise in half and use a spoon to scoop out the seeds. Cut the squash into thigh half moon slices. Place them in a large mixing bowl.
3
Drizzle the olive oil over the squash along with za'atar, salt and black pepper. Toss the squash well to coat with the olive oil.
4
Lay each squash half on the baking sheet and bake on one side for 10-12 minutes {or until the first side is golden brown}. Flip the squash to the other side and cook for 10 more minutes or until golden brown and tender.
5
Remove from the oven and serve or let cool to add to salads. For the dressing, mix together the salad dressing ingredients in a small bowl or jar. Set aside until ready to use.
6
To assemble the salads, divide the greens between two bowls and top with the squash, pickled onion, almonds, feta, pomegranate seeds, and apricots.
7
Drizzle with the dressing and serve immediately.
