This Autumn Harvest Chopped Salad has all the flavors of fall and is perfect for your next holiday gathering! You and your guests will absolutely LOVE the maple bourbon dressing!!

Are you guys ready?!?!! 

For the big day?

T minus 6 days 'til Thanksgiving. 

The funny thing for food bloggers is that by the time the actual holiday rolls around, I'm often "Thanksgiving-ed out." I've already brined and cooked a turkey. Made all the side dishes (twice). Made videos. Eaten pie... for breakfast. Transformed leftovers. And eaten more leftovers. But I do it for you!! So that you'll be ready. And have so many delicious options to choose from! And luckily, I have a lot of family around, so I get out of cooking the whole big meal on the real day and can just bring an appetizer or dessert. 

If you need a pop of color at your table next week, this salad would be perfect. 

This salad is...

• Vegan-friendly.  (ie. basically vegan, except for the honey roasted pecans. You could use plain pecans or make a maple version instead to keep it totally vegan). 
• Colorful. 
• Packed with protein, thanks to Bob's Red Mill quinoa.
• Full of healthy fat, thanks to avocado oil and avocado.
• DELISH.
• Veggie-packed. Helllllllllllllo crispy butternut squash, brussels, + spring greens. 

I like chopping the butternut squash into tiny cubes, so that when it roasts, the pieces get nice and crispy!

Optional add-ins:

honey goat cheese, pomegranate arils (so colorful!), or diced apples.

Question:

Which dish(es) are you making for the big day?
