• For the dressing: Add all of the ingredients for the dressing to a small blender and blend until completely smooth. Set aside until ready to use.
• For the salad: Preheat the oven to 415 degrees F. Spread the butternut squash over a baking sheet and drizzle with 1 to 2 tablespoons of olive oil. Use your hands to coat the squash in oil. Sprinkle with sea salt and a dash of cinnamon if desired.
• Roast butternut squash for 30 to 40 minutes, stirring half-way through, or until squash is golden-brown and cooked through. Once the butternut squash has finished roasting, set it aside to cool to room temperature.
• While squash is roasting, shave all of the the Brussels sprouts - Hold the Brussels sprouts by the stem on a cutting board, and use a sharp knife to carefully chop (or shave) them into thin slices. Discard the hard stems.
• Add the shaved Brussels sprouts to a large serving bowl, along with the butternut squash, apple, pomegranate seeds, feta cheese, and pumpkin seeds. Toss in desired amount of dressing until everything is well coated. Taste for flavor and add sea salt to taste.

• Add pecans to a medium dry skillet set over medium heat. Toast and toss occasionally for 5 minutes or until fragrant and nuts are lightly toasted.

To make the dressing:

• In a medium bowl, whisk together all the dressing ingredients except for the olive oil. In a thin, steady stream, slowly add the olive oil, whisking all the while, until an emulsion starts to form. At this point you can add olive oil in a larger stream until it is completely incorporated.
• To a large bowl, add some of the vinaigrette. Add salad, toss gently, and plate.
• Top salad with pecans, raspberries, and blue cheese.

• Brush eggplant with 2 tablespoons oil; sprinkle with thyme and oregano. Grill, covered, over medium heat 3-4 minutes on each side or until tender. When cool enough to handle, cut into bite-size pieces.
• Meanwhile, in a large skillet, heat remaining oil over medium-high heat. Add onion; cook and stir 5-7 minutes or until tender. Add garlic, salt and pepper; cook 1 minute longer. Add wine to pan; cook, stirring to loosen browned bits from pan. Bring to a boil; cook 2-3 minutes or until liquid is almost evaporated.
• In a large bowl, combine eggplant, tomatoes, parsley and vinegar. Add cheese; toss to combine.
