Ingredients

1/2 cup chopped walnuts
1 1/2 lbs butternut squash (1 medium squash)
4 ounces fresh goat cheese, at room temperature
1 1/2 tablespoons honey
2 teaspoons apple cider vinegar

3 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
kosher salt, to taste
ground black pepper, to taste
1/2 cup dried sweetened cranberries
2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley

Steps:

Over medium-low heat, in a dry pan, toast walnuts, shaking pan frequently. Remove nuts to a plate as soon as they begin to smell nutty.
Peel squash with a potato peeler or knife. Shred finely using a box grater, mandoline or food processor.
In a bowl, whisk together goat cheese, honey, cider vinegar and lemon juice. When smooth, drizzle in olive oil, whisking constantly. Season with salt and pepper.
Toss squash, walnuts, cranberries and parsley in dressing until fully coated. Cover tightly and refrigerate at least 1 hour before serving.

Tips:

Use a sharp knife to cut the butternut squash into thin, even slices. This will help ensure that the squash cooks evenly.
If you don't have a spiralizer, you can use a vegetable peeler to create thin ribbons of butternut squash.
To save time, you can roast the butternut squash in advance. Let it cool completely before adding it to the slaw.
If you want a creamier dressing, you can add a tablespoon of sour cream or Greek yogurt.
Serve the slaw immediately, or store it in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
