I'm not sure what went wrong, but this salad did not turn out well for me. I followed the recipe exactly, but it was still a disappointment.

This salad was a disaster! The dressing was too oily and the kale was tough.

This salad is amazing! I love the combination of the sweet roasted butternut squash and the bitter kale. The dressing is also perfect, with just the right amount of sweetness and acidity.
