Roasted pumpkin and dried fruits make this beautiful seasonal salad a natural match for holiday recipes. The dressing is a light, tasty mix of honey, olive oil and balsamic vinegar. Top it all off with crumbled goat cheese for that final tangy touch. —Sasha King, Westlake Village, California

Ingredients

1 medium pie pumpkin or butternut squash (about 3 pounds)
1/4 cup plus 6 tablespoons olive oil, divided
1/4 cup plus 2 tablespoons honey, divided
3/4 teaspoon salt, divided
1/4 teaspoon pepper, divided
1/2 cup orange juice
1/4 cup balsamic vinegar
1 tablespoon chopped shallot
1 garlic clove, minced
2 teaspoons grated orange zest
1 pound fresh arugula or baby spinach
1 cup dried apricots, thinly sliced
1 cup dried cranberries
1 package (5.3 ounces) fresh goat cheese, crumbled

Directions

Preheat oven to 350°. Peel and cut pumpkin into 1-in. cubes, reserving the seeds. Place pumpkin cubes in a large bowl. Toss with 1/4 cup oil, 1/4 cup honey, 1/2 teaspoon salt and 1/8 teaspoon pepper. Place pumpkin in a greased 15x10x1-in. baking pan; bake until tender, 30-35 minutes.
Place seeds on a baking sheet; bake until golden brown, 8-10 minutes.
Place orange juice, vinegar, shallot, garlic, orange zest and the remaining 2 tablespoons honey in a small saucepan. Bring to a boil; cook until liquid is reduced by half, 15-20 minutes. Strain into a small bowl. Gradually whisk in remaining 6 tablespoons oil, 1/4 teaspoon salt and 1/8 teaspoon pepper until blended.
In a large bowl, combine arugula, apricots, cranberries and roasted pumpkin. Sprinkle with goat cheese and pumpkin seeds. Drizzle with dressing before serving.
