directions
1. Preheat oven to 450°. Toss squash and oil on a rimmed baking sheet. Season with smoked paprika, cumin, 1 tsp salt and ½ tsp pepper. Roast, tossing occasionally, until tender and browned, flipping once, 35–40 minutes. Allow to cool to room temperature.
2. In a medium bowl, whisk lemon juice, white wine vinegar, garlic, shallot, honey and dijon. Slowly drizzle olive oil while whisking, allowing dressing to emulsify. Season with 1 ½ tsp salt and pepper.
3. Thinly slice pear on mandoline, transfer to bowl, and squeeze one lemon on top to prevent browning.
4. In a large salad bowl or platter, add organic girl 50/50!, roasted squash, and pears. Scatter parsley and pepitas on top. Shave parmesan directly over the salad. Top with cracked pepper. Serve with dressing on the side.

Yummy recipe, I exchanged goat cheese crumbles for the Parmesan cheese and added a few candied walnuts. The dressing was perfect!
