It is roasted with salt, black pepper, paprika and a little cayenne until tender and lightly golden, which brings out its natural sweetness.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Salt, black pepper, paprika and cayenne<\/strong>: Simple seasoning for the squash before roasting. The cayenne adds just a gentle warmth, but you can leave it out if you prefer.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Baby greens<\/strong>: A mix of baby salad leaves works perfectly here. They give the salad a fresh base without overpowering the other flavours.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Apple<\/strong>: Choose a crisp apple for the best texture. It adds freshness, sweetness and a lovely crunch against the roasted squash and cheddar.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Pumpkin seeds<\/strong>: These add crunch and a slightly nutty flavour. You can toast them lightly first for extra flavour.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Reduced Fat Cheddar<\/strong>: Reduced fat Mature cheddar works really well in this salad, as the sharpness balances the sweetness from the squash, apple and maple dressing.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Red onion<\/strong>: Adds a little bite and colour. Slice it thinly so it blends nicely through the salad without being too strong.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Dressing<\/strong>: A simple mix of Dijon mustard, maple syrup, vinegar, olive oil, garlic powder, salt and black pepper. It has a lovely balance of tangy, sweet and savoury flavours and coats the salad without making it heavy.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Once you've gathered all the ingredients and prepared them accordingly, you're all set to create this easy and delightful recipe.<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>See the recipe card for specific quantities and instructions.<\/strong><\/h4>\n<\/div><\/div>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-group\"><div class=\"wp-block-group__inner-container is-layout-constrained wp-block-group-is-layout-constrained\">\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Variations and Substitutes<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Here are some easy ways to change up this Butternut Squash Salad with Apple and Cheddar:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Swap the squash<\/strong><br>Use roasted sweet potato, pumpkin or acorn squash instead of butternut squash.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Change the greens<\/strong><br>Baby greens work well, but spinach, rocket, mixed lettuce or chopped romaine are all great options.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Use a different cheese<\/strong><br>Mature cheddar adds a lovely sharpness, but feta, goat's cheese, blue cheese or a lighter cheddar would also work.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Try another fruit<\/strong><br>Apple adds crunch and freshness, but pear would be delicious too.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Switch the seeds<\/strong><br>Pumpkin seeds can be swapped for sunflower seeds, walnuts, pecans or almonds.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Make it more filling<\/strong><br>Add cooked chicken, turkey, chickpeas, lentils or quinoa for a more substantial salad.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Adjust the dressing<\/strong><br>Use apple cider vinegar, white wine vinegar or balsamic vinegar, and swap the maple syrup for honey if preferred.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1200\" height=\"1800\" data-pin-description=\"A fresh and colourful Butternut Squash Salad with Apple and Cheddar, packed with sweet roasted squash, crisp apple, sharp cheddar and a simple maple Dijon dressing.\" data-pin-title=\"Butternut Squash Salad with Apple and Cheddar\" src=\"https:\/\/www.slimmingeats.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/Butternut-Squash-Salad-with-Apple-and-Cheddar-14.jpg\" alt=\"Butternut Squash Salad with Apple and Cheddar on oval cream plate with wooden salad spoons placed on left\" class=\"wp-image-46786\" title=\"A fresh and colourful Butternut Squash Salad with Apple and Cheddar, packed with sweet roasted squash, crisp apple, sharp cheddar and a simple maple Dijon dressing.\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.slimmingeats.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/Butternut-Squash-Salad-with-Apple-and-Cheddar-14.jpg 1200w, https:\/\/www.slimmingeats.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/Butternut-Squash-Salad-with-Apple-and-Cheddar-14-200x300.jpg 200w, https:\/\/www.slimmingeats.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/Butternut-Squash-Salad-with-Apple-and-Cheddar-14-768x1152.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.slimmingeats.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/Butternut-Squash-Salad-with-Apple-and-Cheddar-14-1024x1536.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.slimmingeats.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/Butternut-Squash-Salad-with-Apple-and-Cheddar-14-720x1080.jpg 720w, https:\/\/www.slimmingeats.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/Butternut-Squash-Salad-with-Apple-and-Cheddar-14-360x540.jpg 360w, https:\/\/www.slimmingeats.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/Butternut-Squash-Salad-with-Apple-and-Cheddar-14-180x270.jpg 180w, https:\/\/www.slimmingeats.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/Butternut-Squash-Salad-with-Apple-and-Cheddar-14-560x840.jpg 560w, https:\/\/www.slimmingeats.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/Butternut-Squash-Salad-with-Apple-and-Cheddar-14-150x225.jpg 150w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1200px) 100vw, 1200px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-group\"><div class=\"wp-block-group__inner-container is-layout-constrained wp-block-group-is-layout-constrained\">\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>What to Serve with Butternut Squash Salad<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>This Butternut Squash Salad with Apple and Cheddar works well as a light lunch on its own, but it is also a great side dish for so many meals.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol class=\"wp-block-list is-style-circle-number-list\">\n<li><strong>Roast chicken or turkey<\/strong><br>Perfect with a simple roast dinner, especially if you want something fresh and colourful on the side.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Grilled chicken, steak<\/strong>, <strong>pork or even salmon<\/strong><br>The sweet roasted squash, apple and maple dressing pair really well with simply seasoned grilled meats or fish. <\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Soup<\/strong><br>Serve it alongside a bowl of soup for an easy lunch.

I like to reheat the roasted butternut squash before serving, so I always keep that in its own airtight container in the fridge. It can be reheated in the microwave (may go very soft), oven or air fryer until warmed through.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The dressing can also be made ahead and stored in a sealed jar or container in the fridge, then shaken well before using. Keep the baby greens, apple, cheddar, red onion and pumpkin seeds separate until you are ready to assemble.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Slice the apple just before serving to keep it fresh and prevent browning. Once the salad is fully assembled and dressed, it is best eaten the same day.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1200\" height=\"1800\" data-pin-description=\"A fresh and colourful Butternut Squash Salad with Apple and Cheddar, packed with sweet roasted squash, crisp apple, sharp cheddar and a simple maple Dijon dressing.\" data-pin-title=\"Butternut Squash Salad with Apple and Cheddar\" src=\"https:\/\/www.slimmingeats.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/Butternut-Squash-Salad-with-Apple-and-Cheddar-16.jpg\" alt=\"Butternut Squash Salad with Apple and Cheddar on oval cream plate with wooden salad spoons placed on left\" class=\"wp-image-46788\" title=\"A fresh and colourful Butternut Squash Salad with Apple and Cheddar, packed with sweet roasted squash, crisp apple, sharp cheddar and a simple maple Dijon dressing.\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.slimmingeats.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/Butternut-Squash-Salad-with-Apple-and-Cheddar-16.jpg 1200w, https:\/\/www.slimmingeats.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/Butternut-Squash-Salad-with-Apple-and-Cheddar-16-200x300.jpg 200w, https:\/\/www.slimmingeats.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/Butternut-Squash-Salad-with-Apple-and-Cheddar-16-768x1152.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.slimmingeats.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/Butternut-Squash-Salad-with-Apple-and-Cheddar-16-1024x1536.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.slimmingeats.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/Butternut-Squash-Salad-with-Apple-and-Cheddar-16-720x1080.jpg 720w, https:\/\/www.slimmingeats.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/Butternut-Squash-Salad-with-Apple-and-Cheddar-16-360x540.jpg 360w, https:\/\/www.slimmingeats.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/Butternut-Squash-Salad-with-Apple-and-Cheddar-16-180x270.jpg 180w, https:\/\/www.slimmingeats.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/Butternut-Squash-Salad-with-Apple-and-Cheddar-16-560x840.jpg 560w, https:\/\/www.slimmingeats.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/Butternut-Squash-Salad-with-Apple-and-Cheddar-16-150x225.jpg 150w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1200px) 100vw, 1200px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-group\"><div class=\"wp-block-group__inner-container is-layout-constrained wp-block-group-is-layout-constrained\">\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">More Salad Recipes<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Looking for more salad recipes?
