I followed the recipe exactly, but my salad didn't turn out as well as the pictures. The butternut squash was too hard and the dressing was too runny.

The salad was good, but I found it to be a bit bland. I would add some more spices or herbs to the dressing next time.

This salad was a bit too sweet for my taste. I would recommend using less honey in the dressing.

I'm not usually a fan of butternut squash, but this salad changed my mind. The roasting process brought out the sweetness of the squash, and the dressing was perfectly balanced.

Easy to make and delicious. I used a pre-cut butternut squash from the grocery store, which saved time. The salad was a hit with my family.

This roasted butternut salad was delightful! The combination of sweet, roasted butternut squash, peppery arugula, and tangy goat cheese was perfect. I added a drizzle of honey for an extra touch of sweetness. Definitely a keeper!
