Ingredients

1/2 pound delicata squash
4 ounces mixed lettuce
2 ounces goat cheese (NOTE 1)
1/4 cup almonds (NOTE 2) blanched
1/2 tablespoon olive oil
1.5 tablespoon breadcrumbs
thyme
salt & pepper

Dressing

3 tablespoons olive oil
1 tablespoon white wine vinegar
1/2 teaspoon Dijon mustard
1/2 teaspoon honey
salt & pepper

Instructions

Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.
Wash and dry the delicata squash, cut off the ends and cut the squash in half, lengthwise. Scrape out the seeds and pulp. Slice one half into 1/4 inch wide half moons. Store the other half for another recipe.
Transfer olive oil, thyme leaves, salt & pepper to a bowl, add the squash and coat squash. Place squash on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper and place blanched almonds on same baking sheet.
Bake for about 30 minutes or until squash is done (depends on thickness of slices). Take almonds out of the oven in about 10-15 minutes and sprinkle with salt (optional).
Slice the goat cheese log in 4 equal slices. Coat the slices with olive oil and then transfer to a plate with breadcrumbs and salt. Coat all sides of goat cheese rounds.
Place goat cheese in a baking dish lined with parchment paper. Place dish in the fridge until needed. When the rounds are cold before we roast them, they will keep their shape.
Make the dressing by mixing olive oil, white wine vinegar, mustard, honey, salt & pepper.
Place mixed lettuce in a bowl, divide delicata squash over greens, sprinkle with almonds and drizzle with dressing.
Place warm goat cheese rounds on top of salad and drizzle with remaining dressing.
Serve and ENJOY !

Tips

You can us a plain goat cheese log, but they also come in flavor varieties, like rolled in herbs or pepper, with honey etc. This could add a color dimension to your salad.
If you need/want to blanch the almonds yourself, check out this post.
