Recipe: Maple Butternut Salad w. Microgreens

Updated: Apr 30, 2021


This meal is for salad-haters and salad-lovers alike and is inspired by the local produce all around us this fall. Utilizing our mustard greens for a contrast against the sweet butternut squash and apple, this salad will spice up your weekly meals or shine as a side on the thanksgiving table. Customize this salad with extra goodness such as pecans or swap out the cheddar for goat cheese if that’s more your style. For bonus points use our residential salad mix as the base and gloat to your friends about how your meal is totally local.
