Squash, Pomegranate, Spinach, Goat Cheese Salad!

I stole this one from my incredible friend (& woman who has been such a significant partner in learning about feeding our bodies well!) This is the PERFECT fall salad....YUM...lets be honest I would have used arugula because I'm obsessed, but SOOO good!! For meal prep just keep the ingredients separate in the prep container..bag up the spinach with a paper towel. The vinaigrette is a basic I always have in a jar for lots of recipes. Make it your own.
