While squash is roasting, use a small bowl to whisk together dressing ingredients: olive oil, apple cider vinegar, dijon mustard, orange juice, thyme, salt & pepper.
In a large bowl, layer salad ingredients: spring mix, apples, carrots, pine nuts, pomegranate, cranberries, and goat cheese.
Top with warm roasted squash and dress with vinaigrette. Serve right away.
