Salad

  • 2 pounds pumpkin peeled, cored, and diced
  • pounds beetroot peeled and diced
  • 2 tbsp extra virgin olive oil
  • ¼ pound baby spinach
  • ¼ pound arugula
  • 1 block vegan feta cheese

Instructions
 

Let's Begin!

  • Preheat the oven to 375°F.

Dressing

  • In a medium bowl, add the apple cider vinegar, olive oil, mustard, maple syrup, salt, and pepper and whisk until smooth and emulsified.

Let's Assemble the salad!

  • Serve and enjoy with family and friends!
