Steps

1. Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F. Peel butternut squash and cut into small cubes.
2. Toss butternut squash cubes in olive oil, thyme, salt and cayenne pepper. Spread on baking sheet, position in the center of the oven, and roast for 20-30 minutes, turning once, until tender. Remove from the oven and let it cool to room temperature.
3. While the butternut squash is roasting, make the dressing. Combine Dijon mustard, honey, balsamic vinegar, olive or avocado oil, juice from 1 lime and salt and mix well. If you are not going to use all dressing, you can store the leftover in the refrigerator for about two weeks.
4. Assemble the salad by first placing the mixed salad greens in a large salad bowl, then add roasted butternut squash, dried cranberries, and feta cheese. Drizzle dressing over the salad and toss well. Serve immediately.
