This warm salad is nice and hearty with the addition of roasted butternut squash and tangy goat cheese. The earthy-sweet dressing gets its flavour from a combination of fresh Thyme Olive Oil and sweet Gravenstein Apple Balsamic.

Directions

Preheat the oven to 375F. Toss the butternut squash with 11⁄2 tablespoons of the oil, cumin, chili flakes, and garlic. Spread out on a large roasting tray and bake in the oven for 35 minutes, turning halfway, until tender and slightly caramelized.
Toss the spring onions in 1⁄2 tablespoon oil, season lightly and set aside.
About 10 minutes before the squash is ready, preheat a chargrill pan. Grill the spring onions for about 4 minutes, turn and cook for a further 4 minutes, until tender.
To serve, toss the arugula with the remaining 1 tablespoon oil and the balsamic vinegar. Arrange on a platter and add the butternut squash and the grilled spring onions. Scatter with the goats' cheese and the pumpkin seeds. Serve immediately.
