  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • Dash of salt and pepper
  • 1 pound Brussels sprouts, trimmed and shredded
  • 1 apple, sliced
  • 6 slices cooked bacon, crumbled
  • 1 large or 2 small cooked chicken breasts
  • 4 hard boiled eggs, sliced

Instructions

Preheat the oven to 425 degrees.

Roast: Spread the squash and cauliflower out on a baking sheet. Toss with the olive oil, salt, and pepper. Roast for 25-30 minutes until tender, browned and crisp on the edges.

Assemble the salad: Add the Brussels sprouts to a large salad bowl. Then, pile on the sliced apple, bacon, chicken, hard boiled eggs, avocado, pecans, blue cheese, and roasted veggies.
