If using large mustard greens, remove the tough stems and tear leaves into bite-size pieces. Smaller leaves can be left whole.
Ingredients
- 1 medium acorn squash (1 1/2 lb), quartered lengthwise, seeded, cut into 1/3" slices
- 1 medium delicata squash (1 lb), halved lengthwise, seeded, cut into 1/3" slices
- 2 tbsp plus 1/4 cup extra-virgin olive oil, divided
- sea salt
- freshly ground black pepper
- 4 tsp unpasteurized apple cider vinegar
- 1/2 cup cooked wheat berries, drained, cooled
- 2 oz small red or green mustard leaves (about 4 cups, loosely packed)
- 2 oz arugula leaves (about 4 cups, loosely packed)
- 1/4 cup thinly sliced red pearl onions or shallots
- 4 oz aged goat cheese, rind removed, shaved
- 1/4 cup Spiced Pumpkin Seeds
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 400 °. Line 2 rimmed baking sheets with parchment paper. Place acorn squash slices on 1 tray and sliced delicata on the other. Toss each with 1 Tbsp oil, 1/4 tsp salt, and a pinch of pepper.
- Place in oven and roast for 30 minutes; flip squash, rotate the trays, and roast for another 10-15 minutes or until just beginning to brown. Remove from oven and set aside to cool.
- Whisk vinegar, 1/4 cup oil, 1/4 tsp salt, and pepper to taste in a bowl; stir in wheat berries.
- Spread half of greens over a serving platter or bottom of a wide bowl, then add half of acorn squash, delicata squash, pearl onions, goat cheese, and pumpkin seeds. Drizzle with half of dressing; repeat with remaining ingredients and dressing. Toss lightly; serve immediately.
