Delicata Squash with Burrata & Arugula Salad

This salad is autumn comfort meets Mediterranean simplicity.
Sweet roasted delicata squash meets the creamy decadence of burrata and a crisp bed of greens. It’s nourishing, elegant, and perfectly balanced, rich in protein, healthy fats, and fiber while staying light and satisfying. A drizzle of avocado oil and balsamic glaze ties it all together for a restaurant-worthy dish you can enjoy at home.

Ingredients: (serves 1)

• 200–300 g mixed greens (arugula, butter lettuce, or baby spinach)

• ½ delicata squash, sliced and roasted or pan-fried in 1 tsp grass-fed tallow

• 1 ball of burrata cheese

• 1 tbsp avocado oil (drizzle over greens)

• ½ tsp balsamic glaze

• Sea salt and freshly ground pepper, to taste
  
  

Instructions:

1. Prepare the squash: Slice the delicata squash into thin half-moons, remove the seeds, and roast or pan-fry in tallow until golden and caramelized.

2. Plate the greens: Arrange the arugula and butter lettuce on a large plate. Drizzle with avocado oil and a light sprinkle of salt and pepper.

3. Assemble: Add the roasted squash on top of the greens. Tear the burrata gently over the salad.

4. Finish: Drizzle with balsamic glaze, add a touch more sea salt, and serve immediately.

Tip: You can warm the burrata slightly before plating for extra creaminess.

Wellness Tip:

Delicata squash supports gut health with gentle fiber, while burrata delivers high-quality protein and calcium. Pairing it with bitter greens like arugula helps balance blood sugar and aids digestion — ideal for those on a semaglutide or GLP-1-based regimen.
