  • Yield: 4-6 1x

Ingredients

Scale

Squash:

1 small butternut squash, small dice

1/2 tsp cinnamon

1/2 tsp cumin

Sea salt + olive oil as needed

Kale Salad:

For kale salad:

1 bunch kale, chopped

1/4 cup pepitas (I prefer roasted with sea salt)

1/4 cup fruit-sweetened dried cranberries

1 batch roasted squash

orange tahini dressing (see below)

Orange Tahini Dressing:

1/3 cup tahini

1/4 cup fresh squeezed orange juice

2 tbsp olive oil

1/4 tsp sea salt

1/4 tsp cinnamon

1/4 tsp cumin


Instructions

  1. To roast squash: Preheat oven to 375. Toss squash with a generous drizzle of olive oil (to coat fully), cinnamon, cumin and a big sprinkle of sea salt. Roast for 25-40 minutes, tossing halfway until soft and slightly golden. Let cool slightly.
  2. Whisk together dressing ingredients in a large bowl. Add kale, and using hands, toss to coat with dressing. Massage kale until texture is almost cooked and dressing is well absorbed. Taste, adding more sea salt if desired.
  3. Toss kale with warm squash (can also serve cold), pepitas and cranberries.
