Roasted Butternut Squash Pomegranate Dressing Salad Recipe - Paleo and Keto Friendly
Roasted butternut squash with a sweet and tangy pomegranate vinaigrette is the ultimate winter salad recipe. It's also Vegan, Paleo and Keto friendly!
Pomegranate Vinaigrette
3/4 cup of fresh pomegranate seeds - or you can use 1/2 cup of pomegranate juice.
1/2 cup - good quality olive oil
1/4 cup maple syrup - you can also use honey or agave syrup - I recommend starting with 1/8 of a cup, taste then add more if desired.
1 Tbsp. lemon juice
1 Tbsp. apple cider vinegar ( you can also use white balsamic vinegar)
1 tsp. Dijon mustard
1 pinch of salt
optional pinch of pepper.
You will need a high speed blender if you use whole pomegranate seeds, a good blender will give you a creamy and smooth texture and completely blend the seeds.
For the salad
You can use roasted butternut squash - or pumpkin - or any kind of winter squash.
As for the greens - I used a blend of arugula and baby kale. But you use any kind of greens that you prefer.
I also added some diced fresh apples which I really liked - but you can add anything you like to your salad.
I highly recommend trying the pomegranate vinaigrette - I really loved that dressing a lot and will be making it again.
Thank you for watching and Happy Cooking!

Easy 2 Ingredient Dessert - Spicy Chocolate Mousse
It only takes 2 ingredients to make a memorable dessert that will put some heat into your love life. Dark Mexican Chocolate infused with guajillo chili and heavy cream is all you need to make this inspired chocolate mousse. This dessert has just the right amount of heat and sweet with delicious decadent dark chocolate. Chocolate desserts are always romantic and serving this creamy mousse in a wine glass adds an extra special touch.
ONLY 2 INGREDIENTS NEEDED - Amount will make 2 servings - double to make 4
100 grams - semi - sweet dark chocolate - I used a Mexican dark chocolate that has guajillo chili in it - but any dark chocolate infused with chili will work. If you cannot find a chocolate with chili you can always add some cayenne or a touch of chili pepper juice to the mix.
200 ml heavy cream - COLD
use 50 ML in the bowl while melting chocolate - then whip the 150 ml of cream in a chilled bowl until soft peaks form.

salt and pepper to taste - I ended up using 1 tsp. salt and 3/4 tsp pepper
*You can also add 1/2 cup sour cream after soup is finished cooking -if you want to add some extra creaminess.
