Winter Vegetable Salad with Butternut Squash, Brussels Sprouts, and Beets

Made the beets in the oven along with everything else. A bit bland but I can see it work well with other dishes at Christmas.

I didn't follow directions. I just can't do sweet on my vegetables so I opted for a ranch butter 4 T butter 1 T ranch. I used 2 pounds butter nut squash but sweet potatoes would have been a good substitute or addition. 1 used 24 oz frozen Brussels sprouts and ½ cup dry cranberries. No nuts and I served the beets on the side. Possible additional vegetables: Carrots, potatoes, turnips, and rutabaga (aka swedes) would be good. Spices to add salt, pepper, garlic, onion, parsley, add a dry rub bbq to take it up a notch.
