Roasted Squash & Pecan Salad

Roasting winter squash brings out its natural sweetness and nutty flavour, complemented here by crunchy pecans and an orange and walnut dressing. Butternut is the easiest squash to find, but if you can find them, more unusual varieties like Hubbard, Crown Prince and Musquée de Provence are more flavourful and nutritious. For a vegan version, add half a cup of cooked chickpeas or avocado cubes tossed with lime or lemon juice and a pinch of salt instead of the feta or goats’ cheese.
