1/8 teaspoon cayenne pepper
1/8 teaspoon turmeric
1/2 teaspoon sea salt
1/2 teaspoon cumin
1/4 teaspoon cinnamon
1/4 teaspoon paprika
1/2 tablespoon fresh ginger, minced
1 tablespoon lemon juice
1 tablespoon dried parsley
For the Salad
1 cup butternut squash, peeled and cubed
1 cup red beets, peeled and cubed
2 tablespoons olive oil
1/8 teaspoon sea salt
5 cups romaine lettuce
1 cup arugula
2 medjool dates pitted and chopped
1 avocado, cubed
1 carrot, shaved
2 tablespoons toasted almonds
2 tablespoons dried, unsweetened cranberries
1/4 cup Champagne Vinaigrette (recipe to follow)

1
Place all of the chicken ingredients in a ziploc bag or glass dish and marinate in the refrigerator for 24 hours.
2
Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Bake the chicken for 20 minutes, flipping once, until it's cooked thru. Let cool while you prepare the remainder of the salad. This can also be done the day before and stored in the refrigerator.
3
Toss the beets and butternut squash in the olive oil and sea salt, then roast at 400 degrees for 10-12 minutes until tender. Remove from oven, then let cool.
4
Toss together the butternut squash, beets, lettuce, dates, avocado, carrot, almonds, and cranberries. Slice the chicken and place it on top, then drizzle with Champagne Vinaigrette.
