    This Warm Butternut Squash Brussel Sprout Salad will be your new favorite fall salad. It is full of fall flavors thanks to the butternut squash and brussels sprouts. The maple miso dressing is also to die for, it is the perfect salty sweet combination. Since this is a no lettuce salad it can also be stored with dressing and not get soggy.

    I love salads so much. I make salads several times a week both for full meals and sides.

    For other salads I highly recommend my cucumber sweet pepper salad or my asian lentil and green bean salad.
