Time 1h

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 11

1 pound butternut squash
5 tablespoons olive oil
Salt and pepper
1 bunch of kale, de-stemmed
1/4 cup apple cider
2 tablespoons cider vinegar
1 tablespoon maple syrup
1/2 cup dried cranberries
1/2 cup pepitas
1/8 teaspoon cinnamon
1 teaspoon brown sugar

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 400 degrees.
  • Peel the squash, cut in half and scoop out the seeds. Cut the squash into 1/2-inch slices. Toss the squash with 2 tablespoons olive oil and salt and pepper to taste. Place in a single layer onto a baking sheet and roast for 20 minutes, or until the squash can be pierced by a knife. Remove from the oven and allow to cool.
  • Slice the kale into bite-size pieces. In a small bowl, mix together the apple cider, cider vinegar, 2 tablespoons oil and maple syrup and season with salt and pepper. Drizzle a little of the dressing over the kale and gently rub the dressing over the leaves, by hand, to coat. Toss the kale with cranberries.
  • In a separate bowl, mix together the remaining 1 tablespoon olive oil, pepitas, cinnamon, brown sugar and a dash of salt. Toast the pepitas in a shallow pan, just until they start to get tan and fragrant. Set aside to cool.
  • Divide the squash and kale onto plates and top with the toasted pepitas.

This is a great salad to make ahead of time for a party or potluck. It's also a great way to use up leftover butternut squash.

I thought this salad was just okay. It was healthy, but it wasn't very flavorful. I think it could have used more seasoning.

I wasn't a big fan of this salad. The kale was too tough and the butternut squash was not very flavorful. I also didn't like the dressing.

I thought this salad was just okay. The kale was a bit too bitter for my taste and the dressing was a bit bland. I also found the butternut squash to be a bit dry.
