Roast onions in preheated oven until soft and browned around the edges, about 20 minutes. Shake pan or stir onions if they are browning too quickly. Cool.
  • Put mustard and vinegar in a large bowl and whisk to combine, then slowly add in olive oil while whisking constantly to make a creamy dressing. 5.Add cooled squash and onions and toss to coat.
  • Add spinach and pumpkin seeds and toss again gently to avoid bruising the spinach. Season with more salt and pepper to taste.
