Fig, Fennel and Roasted Butternut Squash Salad

Preheat oven to 400°F. Grease a large baking sheet with 1/2 teaspoon coconut oil. Place the cubed butternut squash on the baking sheet. Sprinkle with salt and pepper and 1/2 teaspoon of melted coconut oil. Roast for approximately 20 minutes or until cooked through and slightly browned. Remove from the oven and allow to cool slightly.                                                                                                                                                                         

Make the salad dressing in a small blender or Magic Bullet by combining apple cider vinegar, Dijon mustard, shallot, honey, lemon juice and salt and pepper. Combine until smooth and creamy and set aside.
