Why this fall salad recipe works:
Eating with your eyes is almost as important as pleasing your taste buds. Today's beautiful chopped salad recipe will delight both those senses. I LOVE roasting butternut squash and Brussels sprouts in the fall. I also love the when autumn's apples and pears are at their freshest and most flavorful. Naturally, since this is a fall salad, I used those ingredients in this salad along with some dried cranberries, sunflower seeds, crunchy romaine lettuce, and (for my husband) plenty of BACON!! With the wonderful jewel-tone colors of roasted butternut squash and Brussels sprouts combined with dried cranberries and bacon, this salad a feast for the eyes and one that will be a welcome addition to any fall table because it's crazy delicious! 
Can the bacon be omitted from this fall salad?
Sure! If you're not a fan of bacon, a vegetarian, or maybe you want to keep the calorie count down, feel free to leave the bacon out. Is it necessary to roast the Brussels sprouts and butternut squash for this autumn salad recipe?While it's not completely necessary, it does add a depth of flavor and savory goodness to this salad that you wouldn't get otherwise. Roasting the vegetables makes them tender and adds a nutty flavor that pairs wonderful well with the sweetness of the fruit, and the tanginess of the pumpkin vinaigrette. 
Make it a complete meal:
Check out my delicious recipe for fast and easy Apple Corn Chowder that would make a fabulous accompaniment for today's chopped salad. The flavors and textures will compliment each other nicely! This recipe for Cheddar Bay Biscuits is my delicious take on the biscuits available at Red Lobster. I like to call these BETTER cheddar bay biscuits, because they are. They'll think you bought these delicious Puff Pastry Apple Turnovers at the bakery, but you made them at home, and it was quick and easy! TA-DA!! Tips for making fall chopped salad: Since this recipe calls for roasting the butternut squash and Brussels sprouts it takes a wee bit of advance preparation so when it's time to make the salad all the ingredients are chilled and at the same temperature. I recommend roasting the vegetables and cooking the bacon up to 2 days in advance and keeping them in the refrigerator until you're ready to assemble the salad. This advanced preparation will be a blessing on a busy day when you're trying to put a big meal (like Thanksgiving) on the dinner table.
What dressing is best for this salad?
This salad would be perfectly delicious with whatever type of dressing is your favorite. A chunky Blue cheese, in particular, comes to mind. However, the following pumpkin vinaigrette recipe is one of my fall-time favorites! 😉 How to make pumpkin vinaigrette:*Note - this dressing would also be amazing as a marinade for seafood and chicken. Add the pumpkin oil, apple cider vinegar, Dijon mustard, minced garlic, salt and pepper in a jar with a tight-fitting lid. Shake well to emulsify and refrigerate until ready to use. Shake again before adding to the salad.
How to make fall chopped salad:
Prepare the roasted butternut squash and Brussels sprouts in advance by placing the chopped squash and cleaned and quartered Brussels sprouts in a large bowl.
Toss them with olive oil and maple syrup. Season them with salt, pepper, and freshly grated nutmeg.
Place the prepared vegetables on a baking sheet and roast them in a preheated 425-degree oven for 20 minutes.
Remove the vegetables and allow to cool.
Lay the bacon strips on a separate baking sheet and cook in the oven until crisp, watching carefully so it does not burn (approximately 20 minutes).
Once the bacon is cooked, drain on paper towels and cool.
The roasted vegetables and bacon can be made up to two days in advance and stored in the refrigerator until you're ready to assemble the salad.
Up to 1 hour before serving, chop the bacon and romaine lettuce.
Place the chopped romaine in the bottom of a large salad bowl.
Chop two pears, and one apple.
Assemble the salad by layering the remaining ingredients, including the cooled, roasted butternut squash and brussels sprouts, dried cranberries, bacon, and sunflower seeds.
Drizzle the salad lightly with the prepared pumpkin vinaigrette before serving, if desired, or allow each person to add their own dressing when ready to eat.
This salad will keep, well covered in the refrigerator for 1-2 days, without dressing.
