  2. Taste and adjust any ingredients as needed.

To Assemble the Salad:

  1. Using a large platter or large salad bowl, lightly toss together the arugula and mixed greens with the apples and pears.
  2. Add the roasted butternut squash over the top and garnish with the pomegranate arils, toasted pecans and the crumbled blue cheese.
