Follow these easy steps to create the perfect Thanksgiving Salad:

1. Preheat Oven: Begin by preheating your oven to 400°F (204°C).
2. Roast Vegetables: Place diced butternut squash and halved Brussels sprouts on a baking sheet. Drizzle with olive oil and sprinkle with salt and pepper. Roast for 25-30 minutes until tender and lightly browned.
3. Prepare Dressing: In a small bowl, whisk together extra virgin olive oil, balsamic vinegar, maple syrup, salt, and pepper. Adjust seasoning according to taste.
4. Assemble Salad Base: In a large bowl, add the mixed baby greens as the base.
5. Layer Ingredients: Once the roasted vegetables have cooled slightly, add them to the salad bowl along with pomegranate seeds, feta cheese, walnuts, avocado slices, and red onion.
6. Dress Salad: Drizzle the dressing over the salad, mixing gently to combine the flavors without bruising the greens.
7. Final Touches: Taste and adjust seasoning. Add more salt, pepper, or dressing if needed.
8. Serve: Transfer the salad to a large serving dish or bowl for sharing.
