Method

For the salad: Preheat oven to 425F.  Combine the beets, squash, and shallots in a roasting pan and drizzle them with olive oil.  Sprinkle a generous pinch of salt and roast, stirring now and then, until cooked through and nicely caramelized, about 35 minutes.

For the vinaigrette: Whisk together the mustard, vinegar, and maple syrup in a mixing bowl.  Add the oil slowly then season with salt and pepper.
